Förlagets beskrivning
This book offers a sociological analysis of the history of international
police cooperation in the period from the middle of the 19th century until the
end of World War II. It is a detailed exploration of international cooperation
strategies involving police institutions from the United States and Germany as
well as other European countries. The study provides a rich empirical account
of many dimensions in the history of international policing, including the role
of police in the 19th-century movement towards national independence; evolution
from political cooperation towards international criminal enforcement;
international policing aspects of the outbreak of World War I and the Bolshevik
Revolution; the early history of international police organizations, including
Interpol; the international implications of the Nazification of the German
police; and the rise on the international scene of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. To account for these historical transformations, this book
develops an innovative theoretical model of bureaucratization based on the
sociology of Max Weber and theories of globalization. It is argued that international police cooperation is enabled through a
historical process of police agencies gradually claiming and gaining a position
of relative independence from the governments of their respective states.
Furthermore it shows that international police cooperation relies on expert
systems of knowledge on international crime, which police institutions across
nations develop and share. Paradoxically, in spite of this spirit of
cooperation, national concerns of participating forces remain paramount. This work analyses the history of international police cooperation from the
middle of the 19th century until World War II. It is a detailed exploration of
international cooperation strategies involving police institutions from the
United States and Germany, as well as other European countries.
