The Times - Subscription at source 26/4/2021 News Ties That Don’t Bind: Challenges in the Cooperation Between Academia and National Security Establishment in Pakistan The collaboration between academia and the national security policy community has an established precedent in Western countries despite the numerous challenges that exist in the engagement. The West, however, constitutes a very small sample size that receives disproportionate attention in studying global policy often at times at the neglect of non-Western policy experiences. This paper, therefore, takes a decolonial approach using the case study of Pakistan to provide evidence on the challenges in the cooperation between academia and the national security establishment. The paper argues that a postcolonial state like Pakistan faces a twin challenge at the structural and operational level that stunts collaboration between academics and the national security establishment. The challenges in the collaboration are as much about power as they are about information, cultural and technical gaps between the two worlds. The paper is a first of its kind diagnostic study that explores the subject at greater depth using empirical evidence from the ground. The insights from the paper are equally relevant to other postcolonial states in the region including India and Bangladesh. Journal of Policing Intelligence and Counter Terrorism - Registration at source 26/4/2021 Research article A Bridge Too Far? An Academic-National Security Practitioner Dialogue on Research Collaboration Across the Divide In a well-known article, Marc Sageman (2014, The stagnation in terrorism research. Terrorism and Political Violence, 26(4)) foregrounds what he calls the ‘unbridgeable gaps’ between national security agencies and academics on the question of accessing and analysing the empirical data upon which innovative terrorism research depends. Yet while the divide between academic research and national security policy and practice can be pronounced, it is also mediated by the existence of common territory. This includes ideas about what constitutes ‘the public good’, despite bringing varied institutional, personal and philosophical approaches to how that good is understood and enacted. At their best, where these collaborations are embraced and nurtured, they can become unparalleled opportunities for expanded learning, constructive provocation and informed debate, bringing different forms of expertise to bear on understanding and reducing the risks and impacts of terrorism.

In this article, we present an example of one collaborative model – coproduction – involving a federal law enforcement agency and an academic studying threat assessment and the behaviours of violent offenders in the United States. Our focus is not on the findings from the underlying research; rather we describe and reflect on the process itself, outlining the benefits as well, as the pitfalls, for both law enforcement and academics. Our overall experience provides a realistic picture of how these partnerships can be responsive to the needs and aims of both parties, to the advantage of the research. Journal of Policing Intelligence and Counter Terrorism - Registration at source 26/4/2021 Research article Teaching Terrorism and Practitioners: Context, Capabilities, and Connectivity in Counter-Terrorism Knowledge and Networks As a rising field of knowledge, terrorism studies is increasingly taught but rarely examined. This study proposes a three-fold framework to articulate the value and utility of terrorism studies to national security and counter-terrorism practitioners. This extends beyond the typically unidimensional considerations of teaching and research to support the development of lateral industry networks and engagements which bridge academia and communities of practice. The framework is centred on the three C’s (3C): context, capabilities, and connectivity. Context ensures the delivery of a threat-centric body of knowledge, designed to introduce core conceptual frameworks, debates, approaches, and understanding of terrorism organisations, strategies, ideologies and threats. Capabilities refers to the skills and attributes that are fostered in terrorism studies students, such as the identification of substantiated intelligence, the analysis and exploitation of primary sources, and the production of policy and intelligence briefs and threat assessments. Connectivity specifies the multidimensional role the Terrorism and Security Studies degree plays in bridging the divide between academia and national security practitioners, and enabling the interconnectivity between diverse national security practitioners and stakeholders domestically and internationally.

However, both academics and practitioners have been hobbled in their effectiveness by conceptual under-development in the field. This has been due in part to the divide and the different incentive structures for both sides that have contributed to a lack of data-sharing from praxis. However, the main challenge preventing the establishment of rigourous studies of best practices in CVE has been the absence of an accepted analytic framework for measuring results. Practitioners engage in either assessment of program participants outcomes which may not be connected to the effectiveness of the program, or in evaluation of programs by whether they are delivered according to design.
