“The Global Politics of Counter-Terrorism” is an ICCT podcast series that was started during our Annual Conference in 2022. The series delves into recent geopolitical shifts and their impact on human rights and the counter-terrorism agenda — through conversations with practitioners, academics, and policy-makers.

In our third episode, we speak to Raffaello Pantucci, Senior Fellow in the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research (ICPVTR) at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) in Singapore, and Senior Associate Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies (RUSI) in London.

Raffaello talks about his own professional journey, how events like the Afghanistan withdrawal and the war on Ukraine have impacted Chinese counter-terrorism, China’s involvement with Afghanistan and Pakistan, his view on Chinese intelligence and their domestic CT policies and if China is trying to change the norms of international CT.
