  The present paper then aims at investigating the evolving relations in the European field of the professionals of (in)security in the context of the setting-up of Frontex, with particular attention being dedicated to the issue of information and information exchanges. It seeks to reflect, by means of such an analysis, on the role and limitations of Frontex, as well as on the impact that these evolving relations might have for the fundamental freedoms and rights of EU citizens and third-country nationals alike.

• On technologies of control of foreigners

  20 April 2009, by Makaremi Chowra
  Security concerns and the tension between the movement of human capital and the will of welfare states to control migration at their borders have led the European Union to set extra-territorial zones of detention for the purpose of border control in the last 20 years. Practices of control over the movement of people have thus created contested spaces of sovereignty at the borders, populated by a «floating population» of asylum seekers and undocumented migrants to be deported.

• THE EU’S MATURE COUNTERTERRORISM POLICY – A CRITICAL HISTORICAL AND FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT

  8 July 2008, by Bossong Raphael
  This paper takes stock of the EU’s response to international terrorism since 9/11. The first part provides a summary historical overview, which highlights the event-driven and contingent development of the EU’s counterterrorism policy. The second part presents a critical assessment of policy outcomes according to the objectives set out in the EU’s Counterterrorism Strategy. Measures ‘to pursue’, and ‘to protect’ against, terrorists seem to have grown substantially. In practice, however, they are undercut by a lack of focus and use at the operational level.

• The politics of subterfuge and EU JHA governance capacity

  8 July 2008, by Bossong Raphael
  This paper starts out from a puzzle: Why is EU JHA characterized by frustrations and blockades, while it is at the same time one of the most dynamic policy-areas? Posed in such general terms, this question is almost impossible to answer: Not only is EU JHA policy a highly diverse, but has also seen phases of ambitious agenda-setting contrasted by periods of stagnation. Therefore, a convincing answer to the above puzzle would require an extensive historical exposition of this policy area, which is beyond the scope of this paper.

• The European Security Vanguard? Prüm, Heiligendamm and Flexible Integration Theory

  8 July 2008, by Bossong Raphael
  The main purpose of this paper is to better understand the political importance of the so-called G6 group that unites the Interior ministers of the six biggest EU member states. Furthermore, some of the implications of the Prüm Convention will be discussed, as the group of Prüm signatories has been compared elsewhere to the G6. However, this paper also hopes to contribute to the wider discussion of the phenomenon of ‘flexible integration’ in area of Justice and Home Affairs. Thus, after a brief historical overview of this issue, a relatively unknown theory of flexible integration will be presented, and briefly applied to the case of the Prüm Convention.

• Development v. Terrorism — migrant remittances or terrorist financing?

  8 July 2008, by Vlcek William
  This paper discusses recent developments in the campaign to combat terrorist financing in Europe and the intersection of these with the flow of migrant remittances from the Members States of the European Union to Third Countries. New regimes of control within the European Union (EU) towards migration affect more than just those seeking entry to Europe. Migrants frequently leave behind families that they expect to support from their earnings once they secure employment at their final destination.

• Under Construction: ESDP and the ‘Fight Against Organised Crime’

  8 July 2008, by Berenskoetter Felix
  This paper discusses the phenomenon of ‘organised crime’ as a matter for EU foreign and security policy. Primarily aimed at searching for conceptual guidance, the first part draws on literature on criminology and policing, presenting two different theoretical perspectives for analyzing the phenomenon of ‘organized-crime fighting’, a utilitarian and a social constructivist one. Against this backdrop, the second part discusses how ESDP has developed and engaged the issue of organized crime.
