This book would not have been possible without the generous support of several people and organizations. First, my gratitude goes to The Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies (stersjstiftelsen) for providing the financial assistance for this research project. Second, I would like to thank my current colleagues at the Department of Political Science at the Sdertrn University for providing a stimulating intellectual environment. I am particularly grateful to Hans E. Andersson, Nicholas Aylott, Inga Brandell, Yonhyok Choe, Fredrik Doeser, Johan Eriksson, Karl Magnus Johansson, Ann-Christine Jungar, Elfar Loftsson, Johnny Rodin, Mai-Brith Schartau, and Ola Svenonius. Their willingness to provide constructive criticism on early drafts of various chapters helped to improve the manuscript. Third, I am grateful to the participants and discussants at the meetings of the Swedish Political Science Association and the Nordic Political Science Association for sharing their thoughts and comments on some of these drafts. Fourth, at Ashgate Publishing, the support and advice of Aime Feenan, Kirstin Howgate, and Margaret Younger helped to make this a better manuscript. The work has also greatly benefitted from the constructive criticism of the anonymous reviewer. Finally, a preliminary version of has been published in: Karlsson, M. (2009) An Institution is Born: The Formation of a Lithuanian Counter-Terrorism Institution after 9/11, Cooperation and Conflict, 44(1): 725.
