Andrew Goldsmith is Professor of Law and Criminal Justice at Flinders University, Adelaide Australia. He has written extensively on policing and law enforcement matters. Two previous books in this area are Complaints Against the Police: The Trend to External Review (Oxford, 1991) and (with Colleen Lewis) Civilian Oversight of Policing: Governance, Democracy and Human Rights (Hart, 2000). He is currently chief investigator in a project, "Policing the Neighbourhood", which is examining Australia's overseas policing missions in three countries, Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands. James Sheptycki is Professor of Criminology at York University, Toronto Canada. He has previously published two edited collections, Issues in Transnational Policing (London, Routledge, 2000) and Transnational and Comparative Criminology (with Ali Wardak, 2004 London: Taylor and Francis). He has also written a research monograph entitled In Search of Transnational Policing (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2003) and was editor of Policing and Society from 1996-2003.
In attempting to make sense of the various manifestations of
transnational policing, and their underpinning motivations, this
volume is much more than the usual collection of case studies. It
progresses beyond the well-trodden path of highlighting the many
shortcomings of the global policing project and instead seeks to
unpack the enduring appeal of foreign police assistance as a
preferred means of strategic intervention...This is a compilation
that will be of interest to scholars concerned with transnational
policing, global governance, international development, (critical)
international relations, and humanitarian assistance, amongst other
areas.
