Smart Borders, Digital Identity and Big Data
In recent years, UN agencies, global tech corporations, states and humanitarian NGOs have invested in surveillance technologies. This book reveals how they grant extensive powers to states and big tech corporations to control communities.
In recent years, UN agencies, global tech corporations, states, and humanitarian NGOs have invested in advanced technologies from smart borders to digital identities to manage migratory movements. These are surveillance technologies that have intensified the militarisation of borders and become a testing ground for surveillance capitalism.
Smart Borders, Digital Identity and Big Data shows how these technologies reproduce structural inequalities and discriminative policies. Korkmaz reveals the way in which they grant extensive powers to states and big tech corporations to control communities.
Unpacking the effects of surveillance capitalism on vulnerable populations, this is a much-needed intervention that will be of interest to readers in a range of fields.
