THIS ESSAY EXAMINES, FROM A LAWYER'S PERSPECTIVE, THE UNITED KINGDOM'S RESPONSE TO TERRORISM, PARTICULARLY IN RESPECT OF SECURITY LEGISLATION, POLICY, AND ANTI-TERRORIST PERSONNEL. MOST CONTEMPORARY BRITISH EXPERIENCE WITH TERRORISM HAS BEEN CONNECTED WITH NORTHERN IRELAND AND IT IS THIS THAT HAS SHAPED MOST SIGNIFICANTLY THE GOVERNMENT RESPONSE. THE PRIMARY LEGAL MEASURES TAKEN HAVE BEEN TO INCREASE INVESTIGATIVE AND COERCIVE POWERS OF THE SECURITY FORCES, TO MODIFY JUDICIAL PROCEDURE IN NORTHERN IRELAND. TO CREATE NEW CRIMINAL OFFENSES, TO ENABLE UK COURTS TO TRY CERTAIN OFFENSES COMMITTED ABROAD, AND TO LIMIT THE SCOPE OF THE 'POLITICAL OFFENCE' EXCEPTION TO EXTRADITION. RESORT HAS ALSO BEEN MADE TO EXTRA-JUDICIAL , EXECUTIVE PROCESSES. THE ARTICLE ALSO DESCRIBED MEASURES TAKEN IN THE ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, SECURITY AND INTELLIGENCE, PRISON AND MEDIA SPHERES, AS WELL AS THE ORGANISATION OF SPECIALIZED ANTI-TERRORIST UNITS AND THE ANTI-TERRORIST BUREAUCRACY IN GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND. FINALLY, THE ARTICLE ASSESSES BOTH THE ACCEPTABILITY AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ANTI-TERRORIST MEASURES SURVEYED AND DRAWS THREE LESSONS FOR EUROPE AFTER 1992: THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RULE OF LAW, A PREFERENCE FOR THE CRIMINAL PROCESS IN DEALING WITH SUSPECTED TERRORISTS, AND THE NEED FOR CLOSER CO-OPERATION BETWEEN NATIONS.

The aim of this chapter is to analyse how the UK actors cooperate with their Chinese counterparts at the regional and local level. Due to the United Kingdom's constitutional and administrative structure, consisting of the four nations (countries), i.e. England, Wales, Scotland (collectively known as the Great Britain) and Northern Ireland, and a highly developed (yet asymmetrical) model of decentralisation of executive and legislative powers (known as devolution) within those four nations, in the UK's case Sino-British local cooperation refers either to the nations themselves (e.g. Scotland), to various metropolitan projects in England (e.g. the Northern Powerhouse) or to individual cities. This chapter undertakes to answer the following questions: Do local authorities in the UK follow the central government's policy on China? What are the British local governments' main goals and areas of cooperation with their Chinese partners? What is the model of the UK's paradiplomacy? The chapter consists of two main parts. The first one is devoted to the central level: the description of the UK government's policy towards China, the state of play of UK-China relations, and the UK's perception of China, including China's "soft" presence in Britain (tourists, students, Confucius Institutes, etc.). The second part is focused on the local and regional level. It starts with an explanation of the legal framework of British local and regional level cooperation, then it sets forth the survey results, concluding with the presentation of two case studies: Liverpool – a city in England; and Scotland – one of the UK's nations and EU regions ; Publication financed by the National Science Centre, Poland.
