This book presents the first detailed history of the modern
passport and why it became so important for controlling movement in
the modern world. It explores the history of passport laws, the
parliamentary debates about those laws, and the social responses to
their implementation. The author argues that modern nation-states
and the international state system have 'monopolized the
'legitimate means of movement',' rendering persons dependent on
states' authority to move about - especially, though not
exclusively, across international boundaries. This new edition
reviews other scholarship, much of which was stimulated by the
first edition, addressing the place of identification documents in
contemporary life. It also updates the story of passport
regulations from the publication of the first edition, which
appeared just before the terrorist attacks of 9/11, to the present
day.
