Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
A landmark approach interrogating policing and police power, tracing its origins, circulation, practices, and local features with uniquely global case studies including the UK, China, Colombia, France, Indonesia, Japan, Turkey, and the US.
MoreLong description:
"
What is the global nature of police power? What are its features and how can they be studied? This landmark multidisciplinary volume looks beyond policing as experienced at the local level, and instead explores the ""police idea,"" practices, and institutions that have been historically developed through the interaction of capitalist growth, nation-state formation, and imperial encounters.
Drawing on a set of uniquely global case studies including that of the UK, China, Colombia, France, Indonesia, Japan, and the US, this volume shows how police power has been formed by, and has likewise formed, capitalism, nationalism, and imperialism by acting as midwife, guardian, or guarantor
of the norms and forms of life produced by these vast global processes.
