In \u003ci\u003eSpeculative Security\u003c\/i\u003e, Marieke de Goede describes how previously unscrutinized practices such as donations and remittances, especially across national borders, have been affected by security measures that include datamining, asset freezing, and transnational regulation. These \"precrime\" measures focus on transactions that are perfectly legal but are thought to hold a specific potential to support terrorism. The pursuit of suspect monies is not simply an issue of financial regulation, she shows, but a broad political, social, and even cultural phenomenon with profound effects on everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpeculative Security\u003c\/i\u003e offers a range of examples that illustrate the types of security interventions employed today, including the extralegal targeting and breaking up of the al-Barakaat financial network that was accompanied by raids in the United States, asset freezes in Sweden, and the incarceration of a money remitter at Guantánamo Bay. De Goede develops the paradigm of \"speculative security\" as a way to understand the new fusing of finance and security, denoting the speculative nature of both the means and the ends of the war on terrorist financing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUltimately, de Goede reveals how the idea of creating \"security\" appeals to multiple imaginable-and unimaginable-futures in order to enable action in the present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marieke de Goede\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816675902\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816675906\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012 pg. 101\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2012","brand":"Marieke de Goede","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48013804601599,"sku":"9780816675906","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_12947d6b-e301-4eae-ba49-8e959f1dfaa0.jpg?v=1767744878","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/speculative-security-marieke-de-goede-9780816675906","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
