The Global Making of Policing
Book (italiano):
<p>This edited volume explores the global making of security institutions and practices in our postcolonial world. In doing so, it critically examines and decentres conventional perspectives on security governance and policing.</p><p>Offering a fresh analytical approach, the chapters move beyond dominant, one-sided perspectives on the transnational character of security governance, which suggest a diffusion of models and practices from a ‘Western‘ centre to the rest of the globe. Such perspectives omit much of the experimenting and learning going on in the (post)colony as well as the active agency and participation of seemingly subaltern actors in producing and co-constituting what is conventionally thought of as ‘Western’ policing practice, knowledge and institutions.The volume will offer readers the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the global making of how security is thought of and practiced, from US urban policing, diaspora politics and transnationalsecurity professionals to policing encounters in Afghanistan, Egypt, Colombia or the Democratic Republic of the Congo. </p><p>This is the first book that studies the truly global making of security institutions and practices from a postcolonial perspective, by bringing together highly innovative, in-depth empirical cases studies from across the globe. It will be of interest to students and scholars alike. </p>
