This book, based on research and interviews with policemen, armed forces, and intelligence services explores the fading division between internal and external security. It traces the genealogy of the discourses on (in)security and explains how politicians now benefit from the fear and feelings of insecurity of their constituents. It considers the transformation of war and crime, the increasing opacity of political violence, divisions between the police and the military, changes in policing and defense and the complex relationship between institutions charged with maintaining security.
