Policing and the Politics of Order-Making

<p>This anthology explores the political nature of making order through policing activities across Africa Asia and Latin America. What these contexts have in common is a plurality of order-making practices. Not one institution monopolizes the means of violence or a <i>de facto</i> sovereign position to do so. A number of interests are played out simultaneously entailing re-negotiations over the very definition of what 'order' is. <i>Policing and the Politics of Order-Making</i> explores how the enactment and contestation of order-making can be a route to power and thus inherently political.</p>
