Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
In a post-Cold War world of political unease and economic crisis, processes of securitisation
are transforming nation-states, their citizens and non-citizens in profound ways.
The book shows how contemporary Europe is now home to a vast security industry which
uses biometric identification systems, CCTV and quasi-military techniques to police
migrants and disadvantaged neighbourhoods. This is the first collection of anthropological
studies of security with a particular but not exclusive emphasis on Europe.The Anthropology
of Security draws together studies on the lived experiences of security and policing
from the perspective of those most affected in their everyday lives. The anthropological
perspectives in this volume stretch from the frontlines of policing and counter-terrorism
to border control
