Evolution of Counterterrorism Cooperation

International counterterrorism cooperation underwent significant changes following the events of September 11, 2001. Initially, the cooperation was limited as many nations were hesitant to share intelligence and resources, hindered by a lack of seriousness towards terrorism. After 9/11, however, the urgency to unify against jihadist threats prompted nations to enhance collaboration, facilitated by UN resolutions aimed at standardizing global approaches to counterterrorism. This collective response resulted in heightened levels of cooperation, peaking around the mid-2000s as countries recognized the necessity of a shared strategy to combat a common enemy.
