This volume is the culmination of a research project entitled P olicing Across
Borders: Strengthening the Role of Law Enforcement in Global Governance. This
project consisted of four research workshops organized under the auspices of the
Center for International Human Rights (CIHR) at John Jay College of Criminal
Justice, City University of New York, in collaboration with the Center for Security
Studies (KEMEA) of the Greek Ministry of Public Order and Citizen Protection.
The purpose of these workshops was to explore key challenges confronting the law
enforcement community in the Balkan region in dealing with transnational threats
and to assess the prospects for effective cross-border collaboration in addressing
such threats. The workshops brought together law enforcement of fi cers from six
Balkan countries (Greece, Turkey, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, Bulgaria,
and Albania) together with academics and representatives from both intergovern-
mental (IGOs) and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Intergovernmental
participation involved of fi cials from the United Nations Counterterrorism Committee
(UNCTC), the United Nations Of fi ce on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and the
European Union (EU). This project was funded by a generous grant from the Stavros
Niarchos Foundation (SNF), whose commitment to and support of this project are
gratefully acknowledged; in this connection, I would like to thank Hildy Simmons,
Epaminondas Farmakis, Ioannis Jervakis, Roula Siklas, Andrea Berman, and Myrto
Xanthopoulou at the Foundation, and President Jeremy Travis at John Jay College.
