ABSTRACT
This book is somewhat like a sandwich with a rich dense filling. The main nutritional value lies in the six chapters of the main part, which offer plenty of contextual information about European state preferences on international police cooperation. You cannot handle a sandwich by the filling, though. To remain in our culinary metaphor, the bread and butter of the book is therefore provided not so much in the central chapters, but rather in the encompassing parts. The first two chapters provided the necessary background and the essentials for (con)textual understanding. The present chapter, then, is going to provide the results.
