Police personnel have increasingly been deployed outside their own domestic jurisdictions to uphold law and order and to help rebuild states. This book explores the phenomenon of a 'new international policing' and outlines the range of challenges and opportunities it presents to both practitioners and theorists.

'...this book is a first-rate account of the new phenomenon of international policing that will be of interest to foreign policy makers, police managers and personnel, and international relations and police scholars alike.' - British Journal of Criminology

'...the author's rich knowledge of detail in the most varied of fields is impressive...The excellent use of the literary sources, as well, should be mentioned for it is just as current and international as the subject matter itself...an indispensable resource for all participants in peace operations.' - Australian Journal of International Affairs
