A Global Surveillance Society?

This is a double issue in which most of the articles were initially presented at the 2010 Surveillance Studies Network / Surveillance & Society conference, A Global Surveillance Society?. The conference was held jointly with the European Science Foundation's COST initiative, Living in Surveillance Socities (LiSS), at City University in London. Different aspects of the conference were organised by Gavin Smith, Kirstie Ball, Clive Norris and William Webster, and thanks and acknowledgements go out to them all.
