Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Intelligence Law and Policies in Europe: A Handbook by Edited by Jan-Hendrik Dietrich Edited by Satish Sule
The Snowden documents revealed a surveillance practice of unimagined scope. No longer the preserve of state organisations or political decision-makers; technical innovation allows mass surveillance of individuals communication. The media and politicians have responded with demands for legal limitations of such practices. This book explores intelligence activities in Europe spanning from chapters on intelligence operations to intelligence cooperation within different policies in Europe within and outside the EU. Political social and historical analyses are brought into context with the legal discourse. Suitable for academics and practitioners this is an important and much needed resource on intelligence law.
