Abstract
International police cooperation has brought up two basic forms of institutionalisation: On the one hand Europol, Interpol and other cooperation circles of the criminal police which are rela-tively far away from daily policing in the member states. And on the other hand various forms of cooperation in the border re-gions. These two basic forms of cooperation are elements of a specific administrative and political form of multi-level gov-ernance: International cooperation is being influenced by na-tional and regional administrations and politics. And, the other way round, international cooperation has a number of impacts on national, regional and even local policing. Cooperation has for example contributed to the centralisation of policing, it has enlarged police autonomy in relation to criminal justice and it has contributed to the dissemination of undercover policing.
