When everyday social situations and cultural phenomena come to be
associated with a threat to security, security becomes a value
which competes with other values - particularly the right to
privacy and human rights. In this comparison, security appears as
an obvious choice over the loss of some aspects of other values and
is seen as a reasonable and worthwhile sacrifice because of what
security promises to deliver. When the value of security is
elevated to the top of the collective priorities, it becomes a
meta-frame, a reference point in relation to which other aspects of
social life are articulated and organized. With the tendency to
treat a variety of social issues as security threats and the
public's growing acceptance of surveillance as an inevitable form
of social control, the security meta-frame rises to the level of a
dominant organizing principle in such a way that it shapes the
parameters and the conditions of daily living. This volume offers
case studies from multiple countries that show how our private and
public life is shaped by the security meta-frame and surveillance.
It is essential reading for everyone who is interested in the
changes to be faced in social life, privacy, and human freedoms
during this age of security and surveillance.
