Produktbeschreibung
Transnationalism is a relatively new concept in the social and political sciences, emerging from increasing interest in the changing nature of the state-system and society. This interest ranges from the local to the regional to the global, with globalization currently a much-debated topic across the social science. This volume is written from a criminological perspective and examines the effects of an emerging global culture on the nature of police and policing. Its main purpose is to identify the parameters of this new topic, addressing a range of issues including: the global market in private security; the perceived need to police cyberspace; the use of civilian police in conflict situations; and transnational police entities such as Interpol and Europol. Drawing on original research from a range of international contributors including the UK, North America, South Africa, France and Belgium, it should be of interest to a world-wide readership.
What Is Transnational Policing? Globalisation, the wired planet, the global village, these are a few of the terms associated with the social and political changes that are said to describe the world at the beginning of the new millennium. One of the most important institutions of governance has been that of policing, but very little has been written on how the practices of social ordering are affected by the processes of transnationalisation. This book brings together contributions by experts on some of the newly emergent issues connected with these changes: -- the global private security industry -- cross-national networking between police -- the establishment of an international criminal court -- money laundering -- policing cyberspace -- the drug war Issues in Transnational Policing crosses the boundaries between criminology, international relations and international law to provide a thought-provoking picture of the complex issues surrounding the politics of policing in the twenty-first century.
