Abstract
This chapter provides an examination of European integration in areas of policing practices from a neofunctionalist perspective. It is argued that expert communities, knowledge exchange, and increasing common practices in policing have developed in response to other areas of European integration. Activities in both the internal (within the European Union (EU)) and external (outside of the EU) dimensions of European policing are considered, with particular focus on the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) and the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX). This chapter argues that, while neofunctionalism is able to provide some insights into the development of European integration in policing, differing national priorities and expert police practitioners’ lack of commitment to EU policing mechanisms and activities have sometimes formed obstacles to effective cooperation.
