  • Inter-Organizational Coordination: How Police Forces
    INTER-ORGANIZATIONAL COORDINATION: HOW POLICE FORCES RELATE TO POLITICAL PRINCIPALS, JUDICIAL BODIES, AND OTHER POLICE FORCES Mila Gascó-Hernández Ángel Saz-Carranza Institute of Public Governance and Management ESADE Barcelona, Spain [email protected] / [email protected] Abstract This exploratory paper aims at understanding how several police forces across Europe manage their relationships with three of the main actors they must coordinate with: politicians, judges and prosecutors, and other police forces. The paper particularly refers to the specific case of two Spanish police forces: the Catalan police force and the Madrid local police force. Our main research question is exploratory in nature: how do police forces relate to other security forces and to political and judicial principals? Methodologically, the paper is part of a wider FP7 research, COMPOSITE (Comparative Police Studies in the European Union). Keywords Inter-organizational coordination, police forces, stakeholders, Weberian politics- administration separation, principal-agent theory INTRODUCTION Today’s complex world increases “wicked” problems (Rittel & Webber, 1973) and the need for organizational mechanisms combining dispersed power with unification (Agranoff & McGuire, 2001). Security issues are no exception. Terrorism, organized crime, and drug trafficking, to name a few, are ever more complex phenomena covering many different kinds of actors and territories. These social problems require modern police forces capable of coordinating and collaborating with other police bodies but, also, with such as the political principal, other governmental departments, and judicial bodies. Several theoretical streams are useful to approach coordination activities in such heterogeneous and fragmented context: network management (Agranoff & McGuire, 2001; Bouckaert, Peters & Verhoest, 2010), and agency theory (Verhoest et al., 2010).

The Committee is scheduled to consider the reports of Spain and other states parties in accordance with Article 40 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) at its 56th session in March and April 1996 in New York. Spain notes in the introduction to its report that, after the predominantly legislative phase that took place in the earlier years of democracy, the Fourth Periodic Report will focus “on the practice and decisions of the courts and other state bodies”.2 In addition, it promised examples of practice in the area of protection of fundamental rights and freedoms.3 In this paper Amnesty International concentrates on issues of concern under its mandate regarding failures to provide such protection and violations of fundamental rights and freedoms.
