Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global growth of private security services signals a significant shift in the production of the most traditional good provided by modern nation states - security. This systematic mixed methods analysis, linking output- and process-oriented policy theories, shows patterns and mechanisms of how political factors - like party dominance - drive the development of private security policy and industry. Based in comparative policy analysis it asks, what accounts for the differences in the policies toward and the outcomes of private security between EU member states?

Book Synopsis Security Beyond the State by : Rita Abrahamsen
Download or read book Security Beyond the State written by Rita Abrahamsen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-18 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the globe, from mega-cities to isolated resource enclaves, the provision and governance of security takes place within assemblages that are de-territorialized in terms of actors, technologies, norms and discourses. They are embedded in a complex transnational architecture, defying conventional distinctions between public and private, global and local. Drawing on theories of globalization and late modernity, along with insights from criminology, political science and sociology, Security Beyond the State maps the emergence of the global private security sector and develops a novel analytical framework for understanding these global security assemblages. Through in-depth examinations of four African countries – Kenya, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and South Africa – it demonstrates how global security assemblages affect the distribution of social power, the dynamics of state stability, and the operations of the international political economy, with significant implications for who gets secured and how in a global era.

Book Synopsis Security/Capital by : Rigakos George S. Rigakos
Download or read book Security/Capital written by Rigakos George S. Rigakos and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-18 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is security, and what is its relationship to capitalism? George S. Rigakos' explosive treatise charts the rise of the security-industrial complex. Starting from a critical appraisal of 'productive labour' in the works of Karl Marx and Adam Smith, Rigakos builds a conceptual model of pacification based on practices of dispossession, exploitation and the fetish of security commodities. Rigakos argues that a defining characteristic of the global economic system is its ability to productively sell (in)security to those it makes insecure. Materially and ideologically, the security-industrial complex is the blast furnace of global capitalism, fuelling the perpetuation of the system while feeding relentlessly on the surpluses it has exacted.
Book Synopsis Guns and Butter by : Peter J. Dombrowski
Download or read book Guns and Butter written by Peter J. Dombrowski and published by Lynne Rienner Pub. This book was released on 2005 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting the growing interest among scholars and practitioners in the relationship between security affairs and economics, this new volume explores the nature of that relationship in the first decade of the 21st century.Among the issues addressed in the book are the impact of the events of September 11 and of the U.S. response. The authors also consider whether the challenges of the current security environment are in fact new, or instead more virulent manifestations of long-term trends and processes. The result is a state-of-the-art resource on the engagement between security studies and international political economy, intended to encourage still further broadening and overlap of the research agendas of both fields.

Book Synopsis The Political Economy of National Security by : Ethan B. Kapstein
Download or read book The Political Economy of National Security written by Ethan B. Kapstein and published by McGraw-Hill Humanities, Social Sciences & World Languages. This book was released on 1992 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Political Economy of National Security is the only text on the market that analyzes the economic dimensions of national security. Given the specialization of writings in international relations, authors tend to treat "security studies" and "political economy" as separate spheres with no apparent linkage. By probing the interface between economics and security, this text offers a deeper understanding of both.
Book Synopsis Economics and National Security by : Craufurd D. Goodwin
Download or read book Economics and National Security written by Craufurd D. Goodwin and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an examination of the interaction between economics and national security, which explores why the area of security studies has long been neglected by economists, even though defence and wartime expenditures regularly consume large portions of government income. The contributors demonstrate that the history of the relationship between economics and national security is far richer than previously thought.
Download or read book Victory for Hire written by Molly Dunigan and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At peak utilization, private security contractors (PSCs) constituted a larger occupying force in Iraq and Afghanistan than did U.S. troops. Yet, no book has so far assessed the impact of private security companies on military effectiveness. Filling that gap, Molly Dunigan reveals how the increasing tendency to outsource missions to PSCs has significant ramifications for both tactical and long-term strategic military effectiveness—and for the likelihood that the democracies that deploy PSCs will be victorious in warfare, both over the short- and long-term. She highlights some of the ongoing problems with deploying large numbers of private security contractors alongside the military, specifically identifying the deployment scenarios involving PSCs that are most likely to have either positive or negative implications for military effectiveness. She then provides detailed recommendations to alleviate these problems. Given the likelihood that the U.S. will continue to use PSCs in future contingencies, this book has real implications for the future of U.S. military and foreign policy.

Book Synopsis Between Security Markets and Protection Rackets by : Marc von Boemcken
Download or read book Between Security Markets and Protection Rackets written by Marc von Boemcken and published by Verlag Barbara Budrich. This book was released on 2013-02-20 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Security is a social practice, which constitutes different formations of political order. Developing a political economy of security practice, the author distinguishes these formations with a view to the actual exchanges between various providers and receivers of security services. He thus departs from a popular perspective in political science, which charts ongoing transformations in the global security landscape along a series of categorical divisions between state and non-state or between the public and the private. A more rewarding analytical perspective conceives the two most dominant security formations in the contemporary world as either based on commercial or on compulsory relations.
