Abstract
This chapter explores the transnational security governance of diasporas as a window onto the global making of policing. Using the Tamil diaspora in Britain as case study, it argues that policing – understood as governance directed to the production of security (Johnston, 2000) – is interwoven with and co-constituted by the challenges to order that policing articulates as transnational threats and seeks to extinguish. Focusing on the intimate relations between policing in the metropole and liberal order-making in the periphery, it demonstrates the mutual implication of the ‘global’ and the ‘local’ and of ‘liberal’ and ‘non-liberal’ worlds.
