Routledge Surveillance and Democracy (Glasshouse Books) - Routledge

Explore the complex relationship between monitoring and democratic life with Surveillance and Democracy from the Glasshouse Books collection. Published by Routledge, this text offers a deep look into whether surveillance acts as a barrier to democratic processes or functions as a necessary component of a modern state. Readers will examine how the legacy of post 9/11 developments has shaped current democratic systems and address the growing concern of a shadow security state emerging from national security justifications. This book investigates how new surveillance measures change our fundamental understanding of citizens and citizenship. It is an essential resource for those studying the social sciences, legal frameworks, and the evolution of political rights in a digital age. Whether you are a student or a researcher, this collection provides a framework for understanding the tension between security and liberty.
