Description

This comprehensive scholarly work examines the evolution of surveillance across cultures and centuries, bringing together 17 international experts to analyse how power structures have employed monitoring mechanisms throughout history. Drawing on empirical research spanning from early Imperial China to contemporary times, the book provides 10 detailed case studies that address fundamental questions about surveillance: who drives these systems and what subjects have warranted monitoring across different societies. By contextualising surveillance within broad historical frameworks rather than treating it as a modern phenomenon alone, this Routledge publication reveals surveillance as a persistent societal force shaped by political, social, and technological forces. The collection moves beyond contemporary debates to ground surveillance studies in historical evidence, offering readers a nuanced understanding of how power operates through observation and information control across diverse historical periods and geographical regions.

Key Features

Features contributions from 17 global scholars examining surveillance mechanisms across multiple historical periods and cultural contexts.

Includes 10 in-depth applied analyses that investigate the historical actors driving surveillance systems and the phenomena deemed worthy of monitoring.

Spans from early Imperial China to the present day, providing comprehensive historical coverage of surveillance as a tool of power.

Published by Routledge as part of the Studies in Modern History series, offering rigorous academic treatment of surveillance history.

Addresses two core investigative questions about surveillance: identifying central historical actors and understanding what subjects have been monitored.
