Surveillance in Europe
この電子書籍について
This book makes the case for greater resilience in European society in the face of the growing pervasiveness of surveillance. It examines surveillance in Europe from several different perspectives, including:
- the co-evolution of surveillance technologies and practices
- the surveillance industry in Europe
- the instrumentality of surveillance for preventing and detecting crime and terrorism
- social and economic costs
- impacts of surveillance on civil liberties
- resilience in Europe’s surveillance society.
- the consequences and impacts for Europe of the Snowden revelations
- findings and recommendations regarding surveillance in Europe
Surveillance in Europe's interdisciplinary approach and accessible content makes it an ideal companion to academics, policy-makers and civil society organisations alike, as well as appealing to top level undergraduates and postgraduates.
