Police Cooperation and Sovereignty in the EU

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 a focus on international and transnational police cooperation, what does it mean to be a sovereign state in Europe today? This book shows how a specific national situation is tied to and dependent on a wider international and supranational system of legal rules, technologies and concepts.
