ABSTRACT
Deploying empirical studies spanning from early Imperial China to the global security landscape after the Nine-Eleven terrorist attacks, seventeen scholars from across the globe offers a comprehensive overview of the history of surveillance that sheds new light on the hidden mechanisms of power that impels surveillance as societal phenomenon, past, present and future. The contexts are political, social, economic and within the world of business.
