In the name of protection and national security, we witness the development of both a transnational field of professionals of politics and of professionals of security (police, intelligence, military). This development might provide a feeling of safety, but it also induces illiberal practices that lead to resistance from judges, human rights groups and part of the public.
Drawing on research from several European countries, this volume brings together essays' on the way counterterrorism is embedded into the very logie of the fields of politics and of security, both in their internal and international dimension. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, political science, security studies, international relations and to all those concerned with questions of politics and human rights.
