This edited volume analyses the global making of security
institutions and practices in our postcolonial world. 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 transnational
security professionals to policing encounters in Afghanistan,
Palestine, Colombia or Haiti. It critically examines and decentres
conventional perspectives on security governance and policing. In
doing so, the book offers a fresh analytical approach, moving
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. 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 particular interest to students and scholars
interested in International Relations and Global Studies,
(critical) Security Studies, Criminology and Postcolonial Studies.
