Abstract
In light of recent departures from human rights standards in the name of ‘security’, this paper argues that the application of governmentality-informed criminological concepts may help to illuminate the process and context in which such
departures are made and the ‘rationalities’ and ‘knowledges’ that facilitate them.
By forcing us to pay attention to the power-knowledge networks inherent in the
bureaucratic, political and juridical apparatus through which rights are negotiated, the governmentality analytic opens up important possibilities for a politically richer, more self-reflexive and ultimately less disingenuous rights discourse.
