Summary
"In the past two decades, police cooperation has received increasing attention in both policy-making and scholarly literature and, although it is not a novel subject, much remains to be learned about it. Therefore, in an attempt to further unravel the deeper dynamics of police cooperation, this thesis examines the micro-cosmos of police cooperation in the European Union (EU). In particular, it explores the effects of the policy instruments of the Council of the European Union ( hereafter, the Council) on the practices of police cooperation in the EU."--Summary.
