This anthology explores the political nature of making order through policing activities across Africa, Asia and Latin America. What these contexts have in common is a plurality of order-making practices. Not one institution monopolizes the means of violence or a de facto sovereign position to do so. A number of interests are played out simultaneously, entailing re-negotiations over the very definition of what 'order' is. Policing and the Politics of Order-Making explores how the enactment and contestation of order-making can be a route to power and thus inherently political.
