This Paper asks how and why border management in South-east Europe is developing as it is, and what this might mean for the future of Europe, by drawing on recent experience in Bosnia, Herzegovina, Slovenia, Macedonia and Albania.

Focusing on the police as providers of order and a measure of its success, this book shows that order depends more on what has gone before than on reconstruction efforts and that tension is inevitable in donors' attempts to reform brutal local policing. It offers a critique of the failure of liberal orthodoxy to understand the meaning of order.
