- Synopsis
- This volume investigates and raises conceptual questions about the relationships between governments, police and security agencies, and citizens in two major western jurisdictions: Canada & Australia. Many debates that concern these topics are dominated by US and UK perspectives, and this volume acknowledges that. However, it also provides an analysis of national security and surveillance practices that are legitimated through rhetorical reference to terror policing, a continuous state or readiness. Contributors are leading scholars studying national security, surveillance and related issues of risk, border security, terror, and sovereignty. National Security, Surveillance and Terror is a significant new addition to this field of study because it provides a view of national security practices that challenges unquestioned dichotomies in this field. It highlights the complexity of national security and the practices it entails, including surveillance. Furthermore, this book questions approaches to national security, surveillance, and terror in relation to demands for accountability, transparency, privacy, and legitimacy. A well-researched and engaging volume, this book will be of interest to scholars of global criminology, policing, and justice studies.
