In a post-Cold War world of political unease and economic crisis,
processes of securitisation are transforming nation-states, their
citizens and non-citizens in profound ways. The book shows how
contemporary Europe is now home to a vast security industry which
uses biometric identification systems, CCTV and quasi-military
techniques to police migrants and disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
This is the first collection of anthropological studies of security
with a particular but not exclusive emphasis on Europe. The
Anthropology of Security draws together studies on the lived
experiences of security and policing from the perspective of those
most affected in their everyday lives. The anthropological
perspectives in this volume stretch from the frontlines of policing
and counter-terrorism to border control.
