Global Surveillance and Policing

Borders, security, identity

Edited by Elia Zureik (Queen's University, Ontario) and Mark B. Salter (University of Ottawa)


'With many of our basic freedoms - privacy, expression, association, movement and assembly - increasingly threatened, this collection provides a timely look at the contemporary realities involved in the surveillance of citizens and the policing of borders.'
- Professor Tim Newburn (LSE)
Global Policing and Surveillance Since the 9.11 attacks in North America and the accession of the Schengen Accord in Europe there has been widespread concern with international borders, the passage of people and the flow of information across borders. States have fundamentally changed the ways in which they police and monitor this mobile population and its personal data.

This book brings together leading authorities in the field who have been working on the common problem of policing and surveillance at physical and virtual borders at a time of increased perceived threat. It is concerned with both theoretical and empirical aspects of the ways in which the modern state attempts to control its borders and mobile population. It will be essential reading for students, practitioners, policy makers.
