Book Description

0195089480 978-0195089486 August 31, 2006
In this illuminating history that spans past campaigns against piracy and slavery to contemporary campaigns against drug trafficking and transnational terrorism, Peter Andreas and Ethan Nadelmann explain how and why prohibitions and policing practices increasingly extend across borders. The internationalization of crime control is too often described as simply a natural and predictable response to the growth of transnational crime in an age of globalization. Andreas and Nadelmann challenge this conventional view as at best incomplete and at worst misleading. The internationalization of policing, they demonstrate, primarily reflects ambitious efforts by generations of western powers to export their own definitions of "crime," not just for political and economic gain but also in an attempt to promote their own morals to other parts of the world.

A thought-provoking analysis of the historical expansion and recent dramatic acceleration of international crime control, Policing the Globe provides a much-needed bridge between criminal justice and international relations on a topic of crucial public importance.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the policing of transnational crime--the dark side of globalization."--George Soros, Founder and Chairman, Open Society Institute

"This is the book we have been waiting for since 9/11--a historically rich, thematically cogent, politically nuanced, up-to-date analysis of the international politics of policing. Andreas and Nadelmann provide an authoritative account with extraordinary insights"--Peter J. Katzenstein, Walter S. Carpenter, Jr. Professor of International Studies, Cornell University

"With intelligence, deep learning, and clarity of exposition, Andreas and Nadelmann critically assess international cooperation against cross-border crime. This book sets a new standard in our understanding of international policing as it addresses some of the central worries of our time."--Jorge I. Dominguez, Clarence Dillon Professor of International Affairs, Harvard University

"Policing the Globe by Peter Andreas and Ethan Nadelmann is an absolutely first-rate examination of a subject as vastly important to international relations as it is to criminal law. Much of the future of both fields is described thoroughly and carefully in this always-readable volume. The handling is remarkably balanced, comprehensive, rich, and complex, yet entirely lucid. A subject that cannot continue to be ignored has received the treatment it deserves."-- Philip Heymann, James Barr Ames Professor of Law, Harvard University

"Every serious student of international organized crime in particular and international crime control in general should make the reading of Policing the Globe by Peter Andreas and Ethan Nadelmann a priority."--Michael Woodiwiss, International Criminal Justice Review

"As global criminal networks--terrorists, money launderers, traffickers in drugs, arms, and people--take advantage of globalization just as corporate and non-governmental networks do, internationalizing criminal justice becomes indispensable. Policing the Globe is an important and interesting read not only for international relations scholars and criminologists, but also for a wider public." --Anne-Marie Slaughter, Dean, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University

4.0 out of 5 stars Sophisticated Analysis, Slight Bias, May 16, 2007
By 
JWM (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Policing the Globe: Criminalization and Crime Control in International Relations (Hardcover)
This is a comprehensive overview of international policing using a sophisticated and synthetic theoretical approach. However, the theory largely takes a backseat to the empirical narrative. There is a slight civil libertarian bias, especially with respect to the war on drugs. Finally, some of their concepts are fuzzy, such as "entrepreneur" which seems to have several meanings throughout the book. Overall, a very good book. A must read for anyone interested in this topic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, September 10, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book documents the nefarious web the US weaves as it attempts to control the world. What is really, really good about this book is that it is entirely non-judgemental. It simply states the case as it is.

What is especially good reading and enlightening is that it teaches us that not all government is bad. A case in point is the British government's extended campaign to abolish slavery, which included boarding ships on the high seas, something that could still be done today.

Nadelmann, who we all know as the director of the Drug Policy Alliance, or DPA, shows that virtually all anti drug laws throughout the world are because of intense pressure emanating from Washington, D.C. Nadelmann and co-author Peter Andreas go on to show that in this age of superpower politics, no country is really free to do as it chooses.

5.0 out of 5 stars It was Late., March 6, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Policing the Globe: Criminalization and Crime Control in International Relations (Hardcover)
I've been buying my book from amazon for about 4 years and never had a problem until now. the book is in perfect condition, but it took amazon about 2 weeks just to ship it out. Which suck because I needed the book for class. This is the first time this has happened usually within a day or two they send the item out, i don't know what happened this time. But other than that everything was good. and this is the first time they have been late so I'll give them another chance.
