GS 236 - Global Policing


In the course, you will be introduced to the role of modern policing in the liberal and neoliberal world order. We look at how state violence works through local, national, and transnational systems of law and security. We ask, what role does policing play in maintaining unequal social orders including race, class, gender, caste and others? How have movements resisted and sought to transform and/or abolish policing in their societies?
