European policing after 1992

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine the nature of police cooperation for the EC and Western Europe. The study considers a network of established cooperation structures and applies such a framework to the larger institutional framework of the EC. It is shown that initiatives and institutional growth have been developed for police services in the studied regions. In addition, prospects for future developments in police cooperation need a consideration for the EC's nation state and political institutions.
