Abstract
This article investigates how transnational police cooperation is structured by the embeddedness of participating police units in national fields of criminal justice. Empirically, the analysis zooms in on the positionality and embeddedness of three different Danish police units that frequently engage in transnational cooperation. Positioned differently in the national field of criminal justice, these units had different capacities with regard to mobilizing and deploying material and symbolic resources and, consequently, had distinct modes of engagement with transnational police. Conceptually expanding this insight to capture the structure of transnational police collaboration more generally, the article develops the concept of ‘stacked fields’ to capture how such cooperation is formatted by the national, institutional and positional embeddedness of participating police units and agents.
