Description: "Police and the Liberal State advances a broad interdisciplinary and international project to refocus attention on the scope and function of modern governance through the lens of the police power in its multiple manifestations - from the family to the police station and the prison, and from municipal government to state sovereignty and global security - and techniques - surveillance, control, and licensing, as well as ordinances, regulations, and administrative, constitutional, and criminal law."--Jacket.
