In the 21st century, transnational repression threatens human rights protections, democracy, the rule of law and state sovereignty all across the globe. This book is truly one of a kind: it brings together an array of experts and provides an unparalleled comparative, global and systematic analysis of this complex phenomenon. --Francesca Lessa, University College London This fascinating collection explores transnational repression in all its regions and varieties, from online harassment to extraterritorial assassinations. It reveals both the weaknesses and strengths of states which are both made vulnerable to and fight back against globalisation. The book demonstrates how strong democracies and the institutions of the putative liberal international order have become unwitting or wilful perpetrators of transnational repression. However, it is most fascinating when discussing the role of non-state actors including self-censorship and policing within diasporas themselves. This outstanding new book is essential reading for students and researchers of authoritarianism, globalisation and international security. --John D. Heathershaw, University of Exeter
