TThe +3 phase of the fellowship will continue its focus on terrorist and CT organisational transformation, and how can trust be improved in the latter. These two themes were integrated in three original research questions: 1/ Does a Post-Fordist conceptual framework enhance understanding of transatlantic CT transformation? 2/ What are the implications of this transformation for trust and information exchange? 3/ How can trust be improved? We have already addressed RQ1 and most of RQ2, and are now concentrating on RQ3 and the how this informs both theory and practice. Following practitioner feedback, we have also introduced RQ 4: how can the lessons from CT liaison over the past 20 years can be applied to state-based threats?To address these questions the fellowship follows two research strands. The first addresses an acknowledged lack of theory in the literature on transatlantic CT organisation by providing a major new theoretical explanation of the profound transformation of CT intelligence and policing since 9/11. It will continue to apply a Post-Fordist framework originally used in industrial sociology to better understand the organisational solutions adopted by CT communities. When placed in the wider context of societal change, Post-Fordism's central organisational tenets of outsourcing; a network approach; core-periphery divide; and centralisation and de-centralisation have broken new ground in understanding why and how transatlantic CT transformation has occurred. Other sociology and technological theories will continue to give illuminating new perspectives on the history of how both democratic and undemocratic states grapple with CT challenges (Co-I lead); on top-down innovative or bottom-up adaptive drivers of terrorist organisational transformation; the militarisation of police CT responses; and the implications of CT transformation for organisational trust and liaison, providing the richest sociological analysis to date.Building on seven years of research and exploiting the applicant's unique CT network, the second strand complements Strand 1 by developing trust, capacity and CT future leaders through TACT, and knowledge exchange between practitioners and academics through TACT+. Identified by practitioners as sorely needed to help build trust between mid-level operational personnel - the future leaders - TACT is an annual multilateral practitioner only workshop focused on the sharing of operational and organisational lessons, the standardisation of terminology, and the development of trust and leadership. As demonstrated by the supporting letters, successful delivery TACT is already having international practical impact. The outputs of the first three years of the grant have already answered RQ1 and expanded analysis to terrorist organisations. To further the impact of this research, a research monograph will incorporate both these analyses into a theory-informed narrative history of the symbiotic relationship between terrorism and CT since 9/11. In the +3 phase some more interviews are required with policymakers and practitioners involved in organisational change to widen the evidential base for the monograph. Second, continuing our theory/practice integration, trust and liaison in the CT community will be examined through engagement with TACT attendees. TACT+ will enhance knowledge exchange and trust between practitioners and academics, Senior practitioners on the Advisory Board will ensure research oversight, while two impact events will widen public knowledge of the monograph and the wider project,

该奖学金的+3阶段将继续关注恐怖主义和反恐组织的转型，以及如何改善后者的信任。这两个主题整合在三个原始研究问题中：1/后福特主义概念框架是否增强了对跨大西洋CT转换的理解？这种转变对信任和信息交换有什么影响？如何提高信任？我们已经讨论了RQ1和RQ2的大部分内容，现在将重点放在RQ3以及它如何为理论和实践提供信息。根据从业者的反馈，我们还介绍了rq4：如何将过去20年CT联络的经验应用于基于国家的威胁？为了解决这些问题，该奖学金遵循两个研究方向。第一部分通过对自9/11以来CT情报和警务的深刻转变提供重要的新理论解释，解决了跨大西洋CT组织文献中公认的理论缺乏问题。它将继续应用最初用于工业社会学的后福特主义框架，以更好地理解CT社区采用的组织解决方案。在社会变革的大背景下，后福特主义外包的核心组织原则；网络方法；中心-外围分裂;集中化和去中心化在理解跨大西洋CT转变发生的原因和方式方面开辟了新的领域。其他社会学和技术理论将继续为民主和非民主国家如何应对CT挑战的历史提供启发性的新视角（Co-I领导）；恐怖组织转型的自上而下创新或自下而上适应驱动因素警察CT反应的军事化；以及CT转换对组织信任和联络的影响，提供了迄今为止最丰富的社会学分析。在七年的研究基础上，利用申请人独特的CT网络，第二部分通过TACT发展信任、能力和CT未来领导者，并通过TACT+在从业者和学者之间进行知识交流，从而补充第一部分。从业者认为，TACT是帮助在中层业务人员（未来的领导者）之间建立信任的迫切需要。TACT是一个年度多边从业者研讨会，专注于分享业务和组织经验、术语标准化以及信任和领导力的发展。从支持信中可以看出，TACT的成功实施已经在国际上产生了实际影响。拨款头三年的产出已经回答了第1项问题，并扩大了对恐怖组织的分析。为了进一步扩大这项研究的影响，一篇研究专著将把这两种分析纳入一篇关于9/11以来恐怖主义与CT之间共生关系的理论叙述历史。在+3阶段，需要与参与组织变革的政策制定者和实践者进行更多的访谈，以扩大专著的证据基础。第二，继续我们的理论/实践整合，信任和联系在CT社区将通过与TACT与会者的接触来检验。TACT+将加强从业者和学者之间的知识交流和信任，顾问委员会的资深从业者将确保研究监督，而两个有影响力的活动将扩大公众对专著和更广泛的项目的了解。
