Abstract

This dissertation examines the impact of international terrorism on the policing (both the policing structures and policing strategies) of large globaized cities, with a focus on New York City and London. Combining historical analysis, secondary source material, and extensive interviews with police officials and officers, it seeks to examine the underlying structural constraints and resources that lead these cities to internationalize their counterterrorism efforts.
