Speaking Truths to Power: Policy Ethnography and Police Reform in
Bosnia and Herzegovina presents a rigorous analysis of the effects
of globalisation on local policing, drawing on data generated from
two ethnographic case studies conduscted in 2011 in Bosnia and
Herzegovina. By examining structures, mentalities, and practices,
it situates the phenomenon of 'glocal policing' in relation to the
convergence of development and security discourses, and raises
important questions about the purpose and value of criminological
engagements with transnational policing fields. The idea of
'speaking truths to power' (as opposed to a single 'truth') is
illustrated by the author's fieldwork, covering active police
capacity building projects implemented by international development
agencies. Both studies illustrate that global power inequalities
affect police reform projects, but also that nodal opportunities
exist for seemingly disempowered stakeholders, specifically
international development workers and rank-and-file police officers
to mediate their effects. This mediatory role is analysed through
the conceptual lens of 'policy translation', providing an
innovative framework for interpreting how policy meaning and
content are altered as a result of their transmission between
contexts. Through detailed and persuasive investigation, Speaking
Truths to Power argues that it is time for criminologists to look
beyond the established structural critiques of transnational
policing power in order to ensure that this growing body of
research reflects the diverse interests, experiences, and
understandings of the agents and institutions who collectively
populate these fields of policy and practice. Conceptually
sophisticated and thematically ambitious, the book will be of
interest to scholars in the fields of criminology, sociaology,
international relations and socio-legal studies as well as those
who are researching and studying transnational policing, police
reform, and the global governance of crime.
