We would like to thank firstly all the contributors to this volume for their hard work in carrying out the fieldwork and producing such rich ethnographic analysis of their endeavours. There are, however, others who facilitated the work of the project financially, administratively and intellectually. In particular, we thank the following: the FP7 Framework Programme for research of the European Union SSH.2011.5.1-2 Surveillance and the challenges for democracy and an open society, which funded the Increasing Resilience in Surveillance Societies (IRISS) project, of which this research was a part, Dr Reinhard Kreissl for his excellent leadership of the IRISS project, Mr Alexander Neumann for his considerable administrative and intellectual support which enabled the research to run smoothly and enjoyably, Professor Charles Raab for his helpful and precise feedback and input at various stages in the research, Professor Nigel Norris for his reflections on our ethical procedures and Dr Hielke Hijmans who reviewed an early draft of one of the chapters in this volume. We would also like to extend our thanks to the members of data protection authorities across Europe who kindly accepted our invitation to attend a roundtable discussion about this research at the Computer, Privacy and Data Protection (CPDP) Conference in Brussels in January 2015. Specifically, these were the data protection authorities from Austria, Belgium, Hungary, Italy and the UK. We thank them for their valuable feedback and willingness to reflect critically on the research findings. The Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK, in particular, has been a valuable contributor to this project, and Jonathan Bamford as well as David Smith and Steve Wood have been generous in providing their time and expertise throughout the course of the research. We further wish to thank Dr Marija Krlic for so ably organising the Surveillance and Democracy Workshop held in Sheffield in June 2014 and the participants for sharing their views and feedback on the research together with their broader reflections on democracy in an age of omnipresent surveillance practices. Finally, we thank the two anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments on the manuscript of this book. The final product is all the stronger for the time they took to read and comment on it.
