Reviews
'A valuable contribution to the work being done, from different perspectives, on the theory of the state and the protection of fundamental rights.' - The International Spectator, Volume 46, Issue 1, 2011, 154 'This book makes an important contribution by raising new questions in the often inadequately nuanced debate about contemporary states' deployment of biometric technology... The book is undoubtedly a timely and most relevant contribution to a field of study that to some extent has been characterised by a lack of critical engagement with underlying issues such as discursive conditions, a lack of engagement with broader implications for bodies being targeted by this technology and the 'risk regime' within which biometric technologies are being constituted as rational, operative and superior solutions.' - By Katja Lindskov Jacobsen, Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS), in e-Internatioanl Relations, September 2012
