Can terrorism be prevented?

The Debates feature from Euro|Topics offers English (+ French and German) translations of a selections of articles in European news sources on this topic.

Euro|Topics relaunched their website during 2016. Features published before that date are still available via an archive website (see related url hyperlinks).After the terrorist attacks in Catalonia
that left 15 people dead on 17-18 August 2017, security services shot the prime suspect on the 21 August 2017. Both Spain and Finland, where another attacker killed two people on the 18 August 2017, were still reeling from the shock. Europe's media had very different answers to the question of how to deal with terror and whether it could be prevented at all.
