The post of European Union (EU) counter-terrorism coordinator (CTC) has often been
seen as ineffectual. However, this article argues that such a critical assessment of the post of EU CTC
is due to a significant extent to an over-emphasis on the internal dimension of the EU CTC’s
activities. Consequently, it suggests focusing on the external dimension of the EU CTC’s work,
which has often been largely overlooked. For that purpose, it develops an international actorness
analytical framework. On that basis, the article demonstrates that, despite the limitations inherent
to this post, the EU CTC is already significantly advanced in the process of establishing himself
as a fully-fledged counter-terrorism actor on the international stage. Evidence shows that he is
increasingly considered an important component of the external dimension of the EU counterterrorism
policy by both member states and third states and bodies.
