Internal security is often hailed as a rapidly expanding area of
European integration, with a growing number of strategies, policies
and framework agreements in recent years. Yet actual cooperation,
when viewed closely, proceeds at a halting pace - raising questions
as to why cooperation appears so problematic. This book presents a
novel, theoretically-informed way to understand internal security
cooperation in Europe. The approach treats internal security as a
"public good" requiring collective action amongst sovereign
governments. All governments must contribute to the production of a
public good; once produced, the public good benefits all
governments. Fundamental obstacles to producing a public good thus
arise, and can help explain the underlying difficulties facing
European cooperation on internal security matters. The chapters in
this book apply a public goods approach to different internal
security issues, ranging from terrorism to border management, and
from environmental security to natural disasters. Each study
demonstrates how the various goals of internal security cooperation
resemble different forms of public goods - and thus present
different kinds of obstacles to effective cooperation. This book
fills a theoretical gap in the literature on European internal
security cooperation with a proven approach increasingly used in
other scholarly fields. This book was published as a special issue
of European Security.
