This article aims to show how experts in European law shaped the direction and content of European public policy in the area of criminal justice. Putting policy experts at the core of our analysis allows us to examine the meso level of policy-making processes directly, where we can study the actors that played a concrete role in providing political and technical solutions during the drafting and adoption of European decisions. Our research focuses specifically on magistrates and senior civil servants who were actively involved in formulating and adopting the instruments of judicial co-operation (the Eurojust unit and the European Arrest Warrant). Through a sociological analysis of individual and collective actions of these legal professionals, we can explain how this branch of the EU was institutionalized and achieved its current form.

The aim of this contribution consists in analyzing the "terrorism" through the academic and political struggles about the paradigm of the "new terrorism" since the events of 9/11. Thanks to the exploration of the real difference between "old" and "new" forms of terrorism, this research note argues the interest of a specific research design which implies multiplying levels and focus of analysis from the terrorism groups to counterterrorism actors, society and media. This approach in terms of "scene terroriste" asks in a new point of view the question of continuity of political violence since the bombing attacks of 9/11. Adapted from the source document.
