The Blurring Border Between Police and Military: A Debate without Foundations

Tomáš Weiss: The Blurring Border Between Police and Military: A Debate without Foundations. Cooperation and Conflict. vol. 46, no. 3

Abstrakt:

This review article reviews the current ‘state of the art’ and literature on the role of the police and military within the changing nature of internal and external security. Some scholars believe that the border between these two forces has recently begun to blur, whereas others strongly disagree. This article argues that the current debate lacks comprehensiveness and conceptual underpinning. It is suggested that definitional differences between the two forces should serve as the basis for detailed and comprehensive future case studies.
