Based on original empirical data, the book pulls back the curtain on the day-to-day practices of the UK Home Office and private service providers, providing critical insights about the inner workings and failings of their processes. Offering a unique analysis of the enactment of power and state sovereignty, this organizational ethnography will inform scholarly, policy and society debates. |
