This volume examines the relationship between privacy, surveillance
and security, and the alleged privacy-security trade-off, focusing
on the citizen's perspective. Recent revelations of mass
surveillance programmes clearly demonstrate the ever-increasing
capabilities of surveillance technologies. The lack of serious
reactions to these activities shows that the political will to
implement them appears to be an unbroken trend. The resulting move
into a surveillance society is, however, contested for many
reasons. Are the resulting infringements of privacy and other human
rights compatible with democratic societies? Is security
necessarily depending on surveillance? Are there alternative ways
to frame security? Is it possible to gain in security by giving up
civil liberties, or is it even necessary to do so, and do citizens
adopt this trade-off? This volume contributes to a better and
deeper understanding of the relation between privacy, surveillance
and security, comprising in-depth investigations and studies of the
common narrative that more security can only come at the expense of
sacrifice of privacy. The book combines theoretical research with a
wide range of empirical studies focusing on the citizen's
perspective. It presents empirical research exploring factors and
criteria relevant for the assessment of surveillance technologies.
The book also deals with the governance of surveillance
technologies. New approaches and instruments for the regulation of
security technologies and measures are presented, and
recommendations for security policies in line with ethics and
fundamental rights are discussed. This book will be of much
interest to students of surveillance studies, critical security
studies, intelligence studies, EU politics and IR in general. A PDF
