Description: An original and rigorous ethnographic account of transnational policing power, situating the phenomenon of 'glocal policing' in relation to converging development and security discourses following the collapse of the Soviet Union. It raises important questions about the purpose and value of criminological engagement with transitional policing.
Review Quotes: "His research brings together northern and southern understandings through dialogue, practice, reflexion and theory to facilitate glocal meaningful conversations. The book will appeal to a wide international readership, as well as a cross-disciplinary array of scholars and students in anthropology, law, social-legal studies, policing, sociology, policy international relations, human rights and of course criminology. That it was based on original research undertaken for a PhD is evident in the denseness of prose reflected in some of the more theoretical passages of the book. This should not, however, deter would-be readers from the justice and human rights professions. On the contrary, Speaking Truths to Power is essential reading for all those involved in policy transfer from the centre to the peripheral worlds of post-conflict and mass-violence." - Kerry Carrington, Australian & New Zealand Journal of Criminology
