Abstract

In a post-Cold War world of political unease and economic crisis, processes of securitisation are transforming nation-states, their citizens and non-citizens in profound ways. The book shows how contemporary Europe is now home to a vast security industry which uses biometric identification systems, CCTV and quasi-military techniques to police migrants and disadvantaged neighbourhoods. This is the first collection of anthropological studies of security with a particular but not exclusive emphasis on Europe. The Anthropology of Security draws together studies on the lived experiences of security and policing from the perspective of those most affected in their everyday lives. The anthropological perspectives in this volume stretch from the frontlines of policing and counter-terrorism to border control.

Abstract

Die Studie von Herrn Matsumoto vermittelt deutschen Lesern einen Überblick über das japanische Sozialversicherungsrecht. Ihre Einzigartigkeit liegt in der Perspektive, die dabei eingenommen wird: Über aktuelle Reformen in Japan wird vor dem Hintergrund der Reformen in Deutschland berichtet. Das ermöglicht nicht nur einen Vergleich der in Deutschland und Japan jeweils eingeschlagenen Wege. Sondern es eröffnet sich dem deutschen Leser, der „sein“ Recht zu kennen glaubt, ein ganz neuer Blickwinkel auf dieses Recht, nämlich der des ausländischen Beobachters von außen.
