Governing Police Stops Across Europe
This book takes a critical and comparative approach to the analysis of the governance of police stops across Europe. It draws on an EU COST Action research network on Police Stops which engaged academics and practitioners from 29 countries to better understand the practice of police stops. It begins by examining how police stops are defined and the various legal rules and levels of accountability afforded. The chapters are arranged by theme to focus on a core aspect of the governance of police stops. These include: legal frameworks and police discretion; internal governance; external accountability and civilian oversight; possibilities for legal recourse; and the different roles of data and technology. Each compares the distinct approaches evident across Europe, often employing case studies. The book adopts a critical approach, acknowledging governance as contested and involving diverse (state, non-state and supranational) actors. It considers implications for policing in a rapidly changing environment globally.

Rulership in Medieval East Central Europe
This book provides the first detailed overview of research on rulership in theory and practice, with a particular emphasis on the monarchies of Bohemia, Hungary and Poland in the High and Late Middle Ages. The contributions examine the legitimation of rule of the first local dynasties, the ritual practice of power, the ruling strategies and practices of power in the established monarchies, and the manifold influences on the rulership in East Central Europe from outside the region (such as from Byzantium, and the Holy Roman Empire). The collection shows that these ideas and practices enabled the new polities to become legitimate members of Latin Christendom.
Plural Policing, Security and the COVID Crisis
This book critically examines how countries across Europe have dealt with the COVID crisis from a policing and security perspective. Across the chapters, contributors from different countries examine the data, press coverage, and provide professional observations on how policing, law enforcement, police powers and community relations were managed. They focus on how security and governmental actors often failed to align with the formal scripts that were specifically designed for crisis-management, resulting in the wavering application of professional discretion and coercive powers. Their different approaches were evident: in some regions police were less dominantly visible compared to other r...

Human Rights in Europe
The book represents an insight into current human rights developments in Europe and gives an overview of the complex, juridical and political dimensions. The contemporary development and institutionalisation of European human rights norms takes place within the structures of the European Union, OSCE, Council of Europe and a multilayered court system. Chapter II «European Organisations and Human Rights» delivers an up to date introduction into the organisation's different approaches to human rights. Geographically the volume has a strong focus on human rights developments in Central Eastern and South Eastern Europe. Russia and Turkey are challenging cases for European human rights organisations and are dealt with in separate articles. The issue of minority rights protection forms another challenge for many Central and Eastern European Countries. The protection of Roma people is only one pressing example. Finally the book devotes a whole chapter to the EU's external relations and human rights. The volume closes with a chapter written by David Chandler who reminds us of the limits of the human rights conception.

Über ein europäisches Deutschland in einem deutschen Europa. Warum asymmetrische Machtverhältnisse in der EU dabei helfen, Krisen zu überwinden
Essay aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Politik - Thema: Europäische Union, Note: 1,7, Technische Universität Darmstadt (Institut für Politikwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Seminar "Macht und Herrschaft", Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In diesem Essay wird die These vertreten, dass asymmetrische Machtverhältnisse nicht hinderlich, sondern förderlich für Europa sind. Zumindest solange, wie sich Europa in der größten Krise seit seiner Existenz befindet, nämlich in einer Wirtschafts-, Finanz-, und Währungskrise, die sich zu einer politischen und einer sozialen Krise entwickelt hat. In diesem äußerst komplexen Umfeld, so lautet die These, sind asymmetrische Machtverhältnisse die einzige G...
