POL 100 International and Domestic Security Lecture 26

Domestic Security vs. International Security: Revision of key concepts Defining domestic and international security-linked to ideas of sovereignty (internal sovereignty of the state + external sovereignty of the state) Anarchy in international relations Globalization and security Civil liberties during times of war

1. Domestic Security The professional standing police force: comes to exist with the social unrest and rise in criminality following the industrial revolution More aware of and more responsive to societal norms and conditions-it is well integrated into the society as compared to an army (SSR in Pakistan e.g. NAP etc. ) Liberal-conservative (derived from opinions about human nature) and radical views of the police (derived from structural biases in society)

What does the police do? Civil Policing: The police exists to fight crime. Rural-Urban divide. Small towns have a greater possibility of “self-policing” A correlation between how police organization and tactics have adapted to increasingly thinly connected and divided (socially and culturally) urban societies Community Policing: Building trust and cooperation with the public. Officers regularly visit families and workplaces within their jurisdiction The Broken Windows Theory (deterrence and the snowball effect) Police States: when the police can operate outside the legal framework in practical terms (not accountable to public or courts)

Civil-Military Relations The military is a political institution of a very particular kind; i) an instrument of war ii) organized and disciplined iii) Professionalization (neutrality) iv) Guardians of “national interest” outside/above politics * They role played by the professionalization and neutrality of the army – case studies Egypt vs. Syria 2011 and beyond
