Description

In this illuminating history that spans past campaigns against piracy and slavery to contemporary campaigns against drug trafficking and transnational terrorism, Peter Andreas and Ethan Nadelmann explain how and why prohibitions and policing practices increasingly extend across borders. The internationalization of crime control is too often described as simply a natural and predictable response to the growth of transnational crime in an age of globalization. The internationalization of policing, they demonstrate, primarily reflects ambitious efforts by generations of western powers to export their own definitions of "crime," not just for political and economic gain but also in an attempt to promote their own morals to other parts of the world. A thought-provoking analysis of the historical expansion and recent dramatic acceleration of international crime control, Policing the Globe provides a much-needed bridge between criminal justice and international relations on a topic of crucial public importance.

This is the book we have been waiting for since 9/11 * a historically rich, thematically cogent, politically nuanced, up-to-date analysis of the international politics of policing. Andreas and Nadelmann provide an authoritative account with extraordinary insights.Peter J. Katzenstein, Cornell University *
This book sets a new standard in our understanding of international policing as it addresses some of the central worries of our time. * Jorge I. Dominguez, Harvard University *
Policing the Globe is an important and interesting read not only for international relations scholars and criminologists, but also for a wider public. * Anne-Marie Slaughter, Princeton University *
