This book examines how legal, political, and rights discourses,
security policies and practices migrate and translate across the
North Atlantic. The complex relationship between liberty and
security has been fundamentally recast and contested in liberal
democracies since the start of the 'global war on terror'. In
addition to recognizing new agencies, political pressures, and new
sensitivities to difference, it is important that not to over-state
the novelty of the post-9/11 era: the war on terror simply made
possible the intensification, expansion, or strengthening of
policies already in existence, or simply enabled the shutting down
of debate. Working from a common theoretical frame, if different
disciplines, these chapters present policy-oriented analyses of the
actual practices of security, policing, and law in the European
Union and Canada. They focus on questions of risk and exception,
state sovereignty and governance, liberty and rights, law and
transparency, policing and security. In particular, the essays are
concerned with charting how policies, practices, and ideas migrate
between Canada, the EU and its member states. By taking 'field'
approach to the study of security practices, the volume is not
constrained by national case study or the solipsistic debates
within subfields and bridges legal, political, and sociological
analysis. It will be of much interest to students of critical
security studies, sociology, law, global governance and IR in
general. Mark B. Salter is Associate Professor at the School of
Political Studies, University of Ottawa.
