| Summary |
Establishing policing systems in young democracies is profoundly difficult. It is further complicated by the emergence of the new security agenda, the issues of transnational organised crime and international terrorism, and problems with the rule of law and the role of security services and the military in young democracies. Bringing together scholars from political science, international relations and criminology this book provides an up-to-date focus on the issues raised by policing within developing democracies |
