This book reflects on the way in which war and police/policing intersect in contemporary Western-led interventions in the global South. The volume combines empirically oriented work with ground-breaking theoretical insights and aims to collect, for the first time, thoughts on how war and policing converge, amalgamate, diffuse and dissolve in the context both of actual international intervention and in understandings thereof.The book uses the caption WAR:POLICE to highlight the distinctiveness of this volume in presenting a variety of approaches that share a concern for the assemblage of war-police as a whole. The volume thus serves to bring together critical perspectives on liberal interventionism where the logics of war and police/policing blur and bleed into a complex assemblage of WAR:POLICE. Contributions to this volume offer an understanding of police as a technique of ordering and collectively take issue with accounts of the character of contemporary war that argue that war is simply reduced to policing. In contrast, the contributions show how – both historically and conceptually – the two are ‘always already’ connected. Contributions to this volume come from a variety of disciplines including international relations, war studies, geography, anthropology, and law but share a critical/poststructuralist approach to the study of international intervention, war and policing.This volume will be useful to students and scholars who have an interest in social theories on intervention, war, security, and the making of international order.

From Guantánamo Bay to the war in Iraq, post-9/11 security measures have sparked fears that the West is violating the very civil rights and freedoms it claims to protect. This debate is focused on the United States, but how have the politics of security influenced the commitment to freedom in other liberal democracies?Colleen Bell argues that Canada's counter-terrorism practices should not be framed as a departure from liberal governance in which freedom is traded for security but rather as a restructuring of modalities of governance through the framework of security. Addressing issues such as security certificates, the war in Afghanistan, and the detainment and torture of Abdullah Almalki in Syria, Bell demonstrates that security measures are not simply eroding civil liberties, they are also fundamentally reshaping ideas and practices of freedom. This trenchant examination of Canada's "War on Terror" exposes how the logic and practices of security are increasingly coming to define our rights and freedoms.
