Volume 11 Number 3 September 1998
Guest Editor: Mike King
Part of the third issue of Volume 11 of Innovation is devoted to the subject of policing and control. The papers under this section were presented at the 2nd Convention of the European Association for the Advancement of Social Sciences which took place in Cyprus in Spring 1997, at a special session organised by Mike King of the University of Leicester. In this section, Surajit Mukhopadhyay discusses contemporary trends in policing in England and Ireland and compares these to the colonial model as introduced in India by the British; Jason Lane analyses police co-operation and internal conflict resolution strategies in the case of Ireland; Mike King puts forward concerns over changes in policing in Central and Eastern Europe; Frank Gregory reflects on the role of EUROPOL with regards organised crime and policing change in Eastern Europe; and Arianit Koci compares policing change in Hungary and Lithuania. In the remaining open section of the issue, Uwe Engel and Manuela Pötschke investigate the extent to which the willingness to accept environment-related taxation is a function of social structure, value orientations and environmental behaviour; Bernd Hamm discusses the role of the social sciences in the sustainability discussion; and Leonidas Donskis elaborates on the Popperian concept of the conspiracy theory
