The Past and the 9/11 Event
The United States and the European Union did not have a direct organizational connection on counter-terrorism since the 9/11 event except through multi-lateral collaborations like the Interpol, the United Nations, the Financial Action Task Force and similar fora (Segell, 2004).

India is a leader in Information Technology and, being an English speaking country, also has the ability to be globally competitive in Professional Services.

A core weakness in the current dynamic seems to be the laxity of enforcement on the part of the EU with respect to this issue of citizenship. According to EU Facts, "although they had to improve their citizenship process in order to join the EU in 2004, a significant proportion of the population (10% of Estonians and 19% of Latvians) have still not been given these rights.

Network Security: Past, Present and Future The work of Curtin (2007) states that a network is defined as "any set of interlinking lines resembling a net, a network of roads -- an interconnected system, a network of alliances."
