Surveillance in Europe is an accessible, definitive and comprehensive overview of the rapidly growing multi-disciplinary field of surveillance studies in Europe. Written by experts in the field, including leading scholars, the Companion's clear and up to date style will appeal to a wide range of scholars and students in the social sciences, arts and humanities.

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.

Industry Reviews

'The editors and authors meet their ambition of providing an overview of surveillance politics and practices in Europe, assessing and evaluating the societal impact and raising awareness of the drawbacks of mass surveillance... This book deserves the attention of the wider public since it is the first attempt to interconnect issues of surveillance and resilience... The editors and the authors appeal to European societal stakeholders, including citizens, to not slavishly accept the characteristics and consequences of the surveillance society, but instead to show resistance in order to become protected against the arbitrariness and exploitation of surveillance practices. This is an important book.'-Kees Boersma, VU University Amsterdam, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books (Rutgers University)
