Big data, surveillance, crisis management. Three largely different
and richly researched fields, however, the interplay amongst these
three domains is rarely addressed. In this enlightening title, the
link between these three fields is explored in a consequential
order through a variety of contributions and series of unique and
international case studies. Indeed, whilst considering crisis
management as an "umbrella term" that covers a number of crises and
ways of managing them, the reader will also explore the collection
of "big data" by governmental crisis organisations. However, this
volume also addresses the unintended consequences of using such
data. In particular, through the lens of surveillance, one will
also investigate how the use and abuse of big data can easily lead
to monitoring and controlling the behaviour of people affected by
crises. Thus, the reader will ultimately join the authors in their
debate of how big data in crisis management needs to be examined as
a political process involving questions of power and transparency.
An enlightening and highly topical volume, Big Data, Surveillance
and Crisis Management will appeal to postgraduate students and
postdoctoral researchers interested in fields including Sociology
and Surveillance Studies, Disaster and Crisis Management, Media
Studies, Governmentality, Organisation Theory and Information
Society Studies.
