[No title] The extent and character of the changes in the structure of policing, their impact on society, the role and responsibilities of government, and the causes of the changes must be studied. Policing is being restructured through the development of new auspices and providers within nations and by the transference of police functions to transnational and international agencies. A defining characteristic of the new paradigm of policing, however, is that auspices and providers may not be the same. www.ncjrs.gov /txtfiles1/nij/187083.txt   (18249 words)

BBC NEWS | World | South Asia | Investigating al-Qaeda: Overview Since the attacks, Attorney General John Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller have refocused the bureau's efforts on preventing future terror attacks. These moves have triggered a backlash from civil libertarians, who are also angry at new powers permitting the expanded use of secret surveillance and wiretaps previously restricted to use against suspected foreign intelligence agents operating in the US.

dermitzakis01.html The paper that in my opinion responded most to the theme of peripherality of both conferences is perhaps that of Bill Ashcroft (New South Wales), entitled "Resistance and Transformation." He focuses on the former colonies, but his arguments have a wider range and impact. Ashcroft argues that the problem with resistance is that the perception of it as a simple oppositionality has locked it into the very binary which Europe established to define its others. English is the language of the globalizers, which the peripheries must adapt to and to adopt if they want to avoid to be more marginalized than already by the law of numbers and economic and political prerogatives, again based on the law of numbers. clcwebjournal.lib.purdue.edu /clcweb01-1/dermitzakis01.html   (2559 words)

Mots Pluriels Bill Ashcroft Rather than fall into the trap of exclusiveness which the concept of 'autonomy' implies, African writers have 'interpolated' Western publishing networks with their appropriated writing.
