ABSTRACT

This paper presents theoretical and empirical research on the collaborative practices of plural policing in the Netherlands and Belgium. It develops and operationalises an explanatory theoretical framework which consists of three factors: network ‘structure and technologies’, ‘culture and relationships’ and ‘governance and policy’. A qualitative analysis of three cases – the Johan Cruijff Arena (the Ajax soccer stadium in Amsterdam), the Nijmegen Four-Day March (a major walking event in the East of the Netherlands) and the Antwerp Diamond Quarter – illustrates that ‘structure and technologies’ and ‘culture and relationships’ are intertwined factors. The lack of a formalised structure for collaboration coincides with lower levels of mutual trust, which, in turn, disturbs the equilibrium that exists between interdependent actors. The state remains salient in anchoring the local security networks studied. Although private actors can act as governing nodes, they only prosper within the remit of government power and public legal authority.

摘要

本文介绍了荷兰和比利时多元警务协作实践的理论和实证研究。它开发并实施了一个解释性理论框架，该框架由三个因素组成：网络“结构和技术”、“文化和关系”以及“治理和政策”。对三个案例——Johan Cruijff Arena（阿姆斯特丹的 Ajax 足球场）、奈梅亨四日行军（荷兰东部的一项主要步行活动）和安特卫普钻石区——的定性分析表明，“结构和技术'和'文化和关系'是相互交织的因素。缺乏正式的协作结构与较低水平的相互信任相吻合，这反过来又扰乱了相互依存的参与者之间存在的平衡。国家在锚定所研究的本地安全网络方面仍然很重要。尽管私人行为者可以充当管理节点，但他们只能在政府权力和公共法律授权的范围内繁荣发展。
