Eurodac: A Solution Looking for a Problem?

This study accounts for the emergence of a supranational biometric control regime in Europe.

Which behavioral logics were underlying the negotiation of the Eurodac Regulations in the Justice and Home Affairs Council? And how did the European Commission get involved in policing the so-called 'Area of Freedom, Security and Justice'?
