More Description
Fighting Terrorism and Drugs is annbsp;examination ofnbsp;European states in their fightnbsp;against terrorism and drugs, from the 1960snbsp;up to the present day.
Jörg Friedrichsnbsp;explores what makesnbsp;large European states willing or unwilling tonbsp;participate in international police cooperation against terrorism and drugs. The book examines forty-eightnbsp;case studies, with particular regard to the policy preferencesnbsp;of the four largest andnbsp;most politically important EU Member States: Britain, France, Germany, and Italy.
The author argues that if a real understanding ofnbsp;international cooperation is to develop, it is important to understand whatnbsp;individual states want and why they want it.nbsp;To explain state preferences, Friedrichs considers interests, institutions and ideas from domestic, national and international levels thatnbsp;can affect state preferences either positively or negatively.
This theoretically coherent book looks at international police cooperation from a truly international perspective and will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, terrorism, criminology,nbsp;international law and Europeannbsp;integration.
