{"product_id":"9781503640719","title":"Fabricating Homeland Security : Police Entanglements Across India and Palestine\/Israel by Rhys Machold","description":"Homeland security is rarely just a matter of the homeland; it involves the circulation and multiplication of policing practices across borders. Though the term \"homeland security\" is closely associated with the United States, Israel is credited with first developing this all-encompassing approach to domestic surveillance and territorial control. Today, it is a central node in the sprawling global homeland security industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars. And in the wake of the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, India emerged as a major growth market. Known as \"India's 9\/11\" or simply \"26\/11,\" the attacks sparked significant public pressure to adopt \"modern\" homeland security approaches. Since 2008, India has become not only the single largest buyer of Israeli conventional weapons, but also a range of other surveillance technology, police training, and security expertise.    Pairing insights from science and technology studies with those from decolonial and postcolonial theory, Fabricating Homeland Security traces 26\/11's political and policy fallout, concentrating on the efforts of Israel's homeland security industry to advise and equip Indian city and state governments. Through a focus on the often unseen and overlooked political struggles at work in the making of homeland security, Rhys Machold details how homeland security is a universalizing project, which seeks to remake the world in its image, and tells the story of how claims to global authority are fabricated and put to work.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56301684621685,"sku":"9781503640719","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781503640719.jpg?v=1762791610","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781503640719","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
