Abstract
This chapter looks at how difficulties in the cooperative and communicative relationships between state organisations often frustrate even the most carefully considered counter-terrorism. It discusses how organisational aims and objectives, competing and overlapping competences, and the desire for organisations to achieve prestige and predominance can obscure and take priority over the central goal of defending the state and its citizens from terrorism in the most effective manner.
