What is Challenge ?

The familiar world of secure communities living within well-defined territories and enjoying all the celebrated liberties of civil societies is now seriously called into question by a profound restructuring of political identities and transnational practices of securitisation. CHALLENGE, «The Changing Landscape of European Liberty and Security», is a European Commission-funded project that seeks to facilitate a more responsive and responsible assessment of rules and practices of security.
