Abstract

Introduction: The transnational dimension ascribed to may phenomena traditionally associated with domestic, or internal, security such as terrorism, drug trafficking, pandemics, or people smuggling has led to increased pressures to increase cooperation across national borders to ‘fight’ or ‘manage’ many of the new, transnational security threats. The ESS describes the post-Cold War environment as ‘one of increasingly open borders in which the internal and external aspects of security are indissolubly linked’ (European Union 2003b, 3). The perceived diffusion between internal and external security has not only accelerated demands for a greater cooperation between the EU and third states and international organizations, but also provided the EU with greater policy-making competencies. Subsequently the EU has over the last decade or so established policies in a number of different policy fields which seek to guide the behavior of its member states within the EU, as well as the EU’s external cooperation.1
