The work questions the loss of synergy experienced when co-operation between nation states is disrupted.
Such co-operation takes many forms – the work specifically considers co-operation to improve mutual safety and security given the international nature of terrorist and criminal organisations.
Prior to leaving the European Union, UK authorities made extensive use of the Schengen II (SIS II) database, which provides a mechanism for member states to share and act on real-time data on persons and objects of interest. Sharing such data appears a good example of co-operation for overall mutual benefit (i.e. synergy).
