Frois (anthropology, Lisbon U. Institute, Portugal) analyzes the nature of policy-making in the case of video surveillance implementation processes developed in Portugal in the period 2005-2010 (or roughly the term in office of Prime Minister José Sócrates). Adopting an anthropological perspective toward understanding the social and cultural impact of technology and society, she argues that the failed and controversial program was not a response to any real internal need, but rather was an attempt to import a foreign model of governance with little regard to internal context.
