In cold war times, the 'West espoused liberal democracy and freedom from surveillance and control. It is thus ironic that with the cold war a distant memory - though it only ended less than twenty years ago - the EU and its member states are set on a path which will, in just a few years time, turn it into the most surveilled, monitored region in the world. The wider context for all this is increased state racism (both at the national and EU levels), combined with the emergence of the 'policing state , engendered by a political and governmental authoritarianism that legitimises itself through the trappings of representative democracy
