dc.description.abstractThis article considers the double meaning of ‘spook’ as both ghost and spy. Building on but moving beyond the hauntological or spectral turn in the recent humanities, the article explores this double meaning of ‘spook’ and what it might tell us about security politics. In so doing, the article moves through a diverse range of topics: from Hamlet to Bentham, from undercover cops to the anxieties of security intellectuals, and from moles to the ghostly powers of police, the article lays bare the haunted nature of contemporary security.en-GB
