Abstract
Different national, regional and international political perspectives dictate the individual approaches adopted by domestic jurisdictions towards mutual legal assistance and international law enforcement cooperation. There is no common view of the purpose of international law enforcement cooperation and there are strongly divergent opinions about the most appropriate means of establishing an international legislative framework for mutual legal assistance. This paper examines different approaches in a transatlantic context and offers theoretical models of consensus, control and conflict as a means of understanding better the different positions from which national jurisdictions negotiate international law enforcement assistance.
