Subjects of Security: Domestic Effects of Foreign Policy in the War on Terror

by R. Cameron

Overview

This book argues that the war on terror is a paradigmatic foreign policy that has had profound effects on domestic social order. Cameron develops an original framework which inverts the traditional analysis of foreign policy in order to interpret its impact upon subject formation through everyday practises of security and social regulation.
