New Statewatch Journal: Informants, spies and subversion
http://www.statewatch.org/contents/swjournal23n2.html
From the editorial: “[These essays] are broadly concerned with different types of informing. The intention is not to sort the “good” grasses from the “bad” but rather to interrogate the relationship between states and informers and better understand the role that they play not just in the pursuit of security and criminal justice, but state subversion and the pursuit of profit.”
