Justice, Home Affairs and Security

This book offers insight into the development of the EU in the areas of justice, home affairs and security, embedded in a broader international context. In addition to the main part, dedicated to the EU, the book features chapters on cooperation in the areas concerned at Benelux, Schengen, Council of Europe, NATO, OSCE, G7/G20, OECD and UN levels.

The chapter structure is identical for all cooperation levels addressed, discussing their actual policies after sketching their historical development and institutional structure and functioning.

For students and professionals in criminology, law and political science and for everyone interested in European and international criminal policy making this book will prove relevant or insightful.
