This book maps the increasing convergence of US domestic and
international security regimes, analyzing the trend towards global
pacification in the name of 'security'.
The dream of liberal world peace after the Cold War is on the
verge of collapsing into permanent global pacification not only in
the global south but also in pockets of the Third World within the
territory of Western states. In this volume, the author explores
the ways in which regimes of security have been extended into
increasingly large aspects of social life and shows that their
expansion has been driven by a constant broadening of the notion of
'war'.
Filling a gap in the literature, the book demonstrates how US
security agencies have sought to develop indeterminate security
capabilities aimed at distinguishing between legitimate and
illegitimate flows of people and resources. This analysis of
regimes of security is tied to a more general discussion about the
persistence, or even multiplication, of illiberal forms of power
within liberal governmentality.
This book will be of much interest to students of security
studies, war and conflict studies and international relations in
general.
