Riassunto

This book examines the phenomenon of crafting transnational policing, defined as the different forms of engagement in policing reform by international donors, national governments, foreign police, and law enforcement agencies in the domestic policing agencies and programs of recipient countries. It includes peacekeeping in post-conflict situations, reconstruction and capacity building as part of nation- or state-building exercises, and the provision of technical assistance in relation to certain aspects of law enforcement. In each instance, there is a cross-border provision of resources with a view to shaping the kind of policing provided in recipient nations. Why do some countries engage in these activities? Why has policing become a preferred form of foreign policy engagement in some countries? What forms of policing development are provided? How are they delivered? And how are they received? How should these kinds of assistance and/or interventions be conducted in future? In this regard, is there a non-negotiable 'core' of good policing that needs to be developed and nurtured as an integral part of all defensible transnational policing engagements? These are some of the questions explored in the contributions to this book. The book arises primarily from papers presented at a workshop held in Onati, Spain, in July 2004, on the emergence of a global constabulary ethic.
