Increasingly numerous areas of life are governed by security policies and technologies. \u003ci\u003eSecurity Unbound \u003c\/i\u003eargues that when insecurities pervade how we relate to our neighbours, how we perceive international politics, how governments formulate policies, at stake is not our security but our democracy. Security is not in the first instance a right or value but a practice that challenges democratic institutions and actions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are familiar with emergency policies in the name of national security challenging parliamentary processes, the space for political dissent, and fundamental rights. Yet, security practice and technology pervade society heavily in very mundane ways without raising national security crises, in particular through surveillance technology and the management of risks and uncertainties in many areas of life. These more diffuse security practices create societies in which suspicion becomes a default way of relating and governing relations, ranging from neighbourhood relations over financial transactions to cross border mobility. \u003ci\u003eSecurity Unbound \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates that governing through suspicion poses serious challenges to democratic practice. Some of these challenges are familiar, such as the erosion of the right to privacy; others are less so, such as the post-human challenge to citizenship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSecurity unbound\u003c\/i\u003e provokes us to see that the democratic political stake today is not our security but preventing insecurity from becoming the organising principle of political and social life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45565723279598,"sku":"9780415440219","price":74.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415440219_f32a49b8-6ee3-4b4a-a373-78185fbcbac2.jpg?v=1720683833","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/security-unbound-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
