We are thrilled to announce the official publication of our new book, “The Policing Gap in NATO Operations: Defining the complexity of Internal Security Architecture,” in collaboration with Springer!

A cooperation between NATO SPCOE, John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the 1 CMI Command, this comprehensive volume offers a detailed examination of the intricate challenges and complexities involved in establishing and maintaining internal security during NATO operations. It provides essential insights into the “policing gap,” exploring the crucial need for robust and effective security frameworks in fragile and post-conflict environments. The book features contributions from leading experts, offering a multi-faceted perspective on the challenges and solutions related to internal security architecture. It is a fundamental resource for practitioners, policymakers, and academics interested in Stability Policing, crisis management, and international security cooperation. We encourage you to explore this valuable contribution to the field.

The book is now available, free of charge, in open access, through the Springer platform. You can find it on the publisher’s website:
