Global Terrorism Research Centre - Conference 2008
About GTReC
GTReC is Australia’s first state government funded research centre entirely devoted to the study of terrorism, counter-terrorism, and political violence, having received funding from the Victorian State Government in 2006 to examine these areas of concern. Its members’ unique approach to understanding terrorism is grounded in a strong understanding of the identity politics, cultural and global dynamics, and broader contexts of political conflicts, as well as recognizing the importance of social cohesion within a broad ranging counter-terrorism strategy. GTReC’s members have participated in partnerships or counter-terrorism forums that have included the United Nations, coalition countries, various police services and local schools, civic and religious groups.
