European Internal Security: Towards Supranational Governance in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice


Add your own review!

Overview

European institutions are either loathed or underestimated. This book analyses the role of EU institutions in the area of European internal security. From Justice and Home Affairs, this area has become more like a European Area of Freedom, Security and Justice. In this process, the European Commission has demonstrably played the role of an `engine of integration' in areas such a counter-terrorism, policing, asylum, migration and border management. This book uses the framework of supranational policy entrepeuners (SPE), those who stand at the policy window in order to propose, lobby for and sell `their' policy proposal, and synthesises it with insights from the literature on norm entrepreneurship. This book will be of great interest to scholars and practitioners interested in European internal security, European integration, terrorism, security studies and international relations. -- .

Reviews

In this groundbreaking piece of scholarship, Kaunert accomplishes precisely what he sets out to do by providing a comprehensive account of EU initiatives in its Area of Freedom, Security, and Justice, exploring these developments from a valuable theoretical perspective, and providing lessons for practitioners. Written by one of the true experts in the field and informed by over one hundred interviews with policy-makers, this book fills a void in the literature on European internal security and contributes much to our theoretical understanding of European integration. There is no other book like it.' -- .
