"[A] pioneering look at the internationalization of twentieth-century policing...a needed corrective to sensationalistic reports on the global illicit sphere."--Qualitative Sociology "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 "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.

The most comprehensive history available on transnational policing. Coverage ranges from the British-led campaign against slavery to the American-led War on Terror. (Most books on international crime control focus on specific issues (such as drug enforcement), or are limited to specific regions or countries.) Argues that dominant governments in the international system impose their economic, political, and moral preferences on others by criminalizing certain acts. International policing is as much about enforcing one's own standards as fighting crime. Media-friendly authors. Nadelmann is the founder and executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, which is the leading organization promoting alternatives to the war on drugs. Andreas is considered an expert on cross-border policing and has testified before the Senate and House of Representatives. Both have lectured extensively.
