Opis

This book examines how state borders are increasingly being replaced by internal controls in the form of state bureaucracies as a means of regulating westward migration within the EU. It discusses the changes in control societies and how targeted surveillance as a geopolitical tool leads to new digitalised mechanisms of population selection.

Recenzje

`This book is important reading for anyone who is interested in online surveillance, privacy, the digitalized bureaucracy and social control since her conceptualization of digitization and surveillance can be applied to general application of social surveillance and securitization.’ —  Deborah Komarnisky, Ph.D. Student, Department of Law and Legal Studies, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; AmeriQuests 15.1 (2020)
