How can INTERPOL contribute to future border integrity?
Kokkuvõte
The objective of this research is to identify how INTERPOL’s border elements can be operationalized within national and regional border programs so contributing to enhance global integrity. The research first offers an analysis of the theoretical frame of the ’borderless’ world of the 90s, inspired by the globalization elements of the economic integration and free trade, and driven by the viewpoint of the neo-liberal. Next it assesses the rapid reinforcement of border security within governmental agendas in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States and the extended collaboration with the private sector, especially information technology,transportation, and private security companies, in line with the development of the doctrine known as ‘NPM’ (new public management)which asserts the supposed superiority of private managerial techniques that would lead to improvement in the efficiency and effectiveness of government services. In contrast, the research also analyzes the viewpoints critical to the NPM doctrine such as the ‘whole-of-government’ movement which advocates for holistic private-public collaboration methods to improve government processes. Thirdly,it offers insight into the processes and the technologies that are driving the global evolution of border management, including the ‘seamless journey’ concept that harnesses biometric systems shared by smart cities that properly recalibrated can be utilized in border settings.
