The State and the police are traditionally seen as closely
connected phenomena. Today, however, rapid EU legal developments
mean that European police forces are no longer tied to a specific
national legal context or a specific territory in the way they used
to be. Norway is not a member of the EU. Or is it? This book shows
that although it lacks formal membership status, Norway has become
part of almost all of the major EU police cooperation measures and
agreements. Not only does this mean that foreign police forces may
operate on Norwegian territory and vice versa, but in addition, a
wide range of EU regulations and cooperation instruments are
incorporated directly into Norwegian law. With the increased focus
on international and transnational police cooperation in mind, what
does it mean to be a sovereign state in Europe today? This book
combines strong legal and theoretical analyses of a specific
national system to show how this country is tied to and dependent
on a wider international and supranational system of legal rules,
technologies and concepts. This makes the book relevant not only
for the Norwegian prosecution and police authorities, but also for
readers outside Norway interested in exploring how and whether the
police as a modern state function has changed through the
implementation of international cross-border cooperation
mechanisms.
This book examines the question of whether justice or security is
the primary virtue of 21st-century society. The issue of enhancing
security without undermining justice - managing risk without
undermining the rule of law - has always been problematic. However,
recent developments such as new counter-terrorism measures, the
expanding scope of criminal law, harsher migration control and an
increasingly pronounced concern with public safety, have posed new
challenges. The key element of these contemporary challenges is
that of membership and exclusion: that is, who is to be included
within the community of justice, and against whom is the just
community aiming to defend itself? Justice and Security in the 21st
Century brings together researchers from various academic
disciplines and different countries in order to explore these
developments. It attempts to chart the complex landscapes of
justice, human rights and the rule of law in an era when such
ideals are challenged by increasing demands for efficiency,
effectiveness, public safety and security. This edited volume will
be of much interest to students of critical legal studies,
criminology, critical security studies, human rights, sociology and
IR in general.
