Last year,
Routledge published a new book on colonial policing in the Portuguese Empire
ABOUT THE BOOK
This compilation
represents the first study to examine the historical evolution and shifting
global dynamics of policing across the Lusophone community. With contributions
from a multi-disciplinary range of experts, it traces the role of policing
within and across settings that are connected by the shared legacy of
Portuguese colonialism. Previously neglected within studies of the
globalisation of policing, the Lusophone experience brings novel insights to
established analyses of colonial, post-colonial and transnational policing.
This compilation draws research attention to the policing peculiarities of the
Lusophone community. It proposes new cultural settings within which to test
dominant theories of policing research. It uncovers an important piece of the
jigsaw that is policing across the globe. Key research questions that it
addresses include:
• What were the
patterns of policing, and policing transfers, across Portuguese colonial
settings?
• How did
Portugal’s dual status as both fascist regime and imperial power shape its late
colonial policing?
• What have been
the different experiences of post-colonial and transitional policing across the
former Portuguese colonies?
• In what ways
are Lusophone nations contributing to, and indeed shaping, patterns of
transnational policing?
• What
comparative lessons can be drawn from the Lusophone policing experience?
