About the Book

The 2016 Brexit referendum did more than sever political and economic ties—it fractured the foundation of Euro-British intelligence cooperation. For decades, the United Kingdom was a central pillar in the European security architecture, sharing vital data through Europol, Eurojust, and the Schengen Information System. When those formal structures unraveled, a dangerous intelligence gap emerged just as global hybrid threats began to escalate.

This comprehensive analysis examines the profound transformation of European security in the twenty-first century. It investigates how the UK and EU are navigating a fragmented relationship while fighting relentless Russian espionage, Chinese cyber networks, and Iranian covert operations. Readers will uncover the real-world consequences of losing real-time data access, and how interpersonal trust is keeping cross-border counterterrorism efforts alive despite the political divorce.

The text covers a wide array of critical security developments, including the digital transformation of EU border management, the New Pact on Migration and Asylum, and national security sector reforms across France, Germany, Poland, Bulgaria, and the Baltic States. It also brings historical context to modern challenges, detailing secretive intelligence-sharing mechanisms like the MAXIMATOR alliance and tracing Cold War tradecraft from Operation Jungle to today’s state-sponsored disinformation campaigns.

Written for policymakers, security professionals, academics, and readers fascinated by geopolitics and international relations, this book presents a stark reality: security in Europe is only as strong as its weakest link. As adversaries weaponize technology and exploit political divisions, understanding the fragile state of modern intelligence cooperation is absolutely essential. This timely work provides the insights needed to grasp the future of state security, counter-espionage, and collective defense in a rapidly shifting landscape.
