Technology and Security: Governing Threats in the New Millennium

by Brian Rappert

From the publisher:
Technology and Security takes forward the existing state of academic understanding where security and technology intersect. It assesses the challenges posed by emerging scientific and technological developments for security while understanding how perceptions of security threats are themselves formed in relation to conceptions of science and technology.
