In State Secrecy and Security: Refiguring the Covert Imaginary,
William Walters calls for secrecy to be given a more central place
in critical security studies and elevated to become a core concept
when theorising power in liberal democracies. Through
investigations into such themes as the mobility of cryptographic
secrets, the power of public inquiries, the connection between
secrecy and place-making, and the aesthetics of secrecy within
immigration enforcement, Walters challenges commonplace
understandings of the covert and develops new concepts, methods and
themes for secrecy and security research. Walters identifies the
covert imaginary as both a limit on our ability to think politics
differently and a ground to develop a richer understanding of
power. State Secrecy and Security offers readers a set of thinking
tools to better understand the strange powers that hiding,
revealing, lying, confessing, professing ignorance and many other
operations of secrecy put in motion. It will be a valuable resource
for scholars and students of security, secrecy and politics more
broadly.
