Mega-events such as the Olympic Games, World Cup finals and
international political summits are occasions of almost
unparalleled economic, political and social significance for host
nations and cities. The scale and scope of mega-event security has
continued to grow enormously since 11 September 2001, consistently
involving the largest policing and security operations for event
hosts outside of wartime. This book is the first to focus
exclusively on the organisational dynamics underpinning the design
and delivery of mega-event security. Using the G20 Summit in
Brisbane, Australia in November 2014 as a case study, in
conjunction with comparisons with events such as the Toronto 2010
G20, the authors engage in a comprehensive assessment of the
networks, strategies and tensions involved in mega-event security.
By drawing on the insightful experiences of those responsible for
securing the Brisbane 2014 G20, the authors look behind-the-scenes
to capture the complexity of mega-event security. The authors argue
that such an approach is essential to better appreciate how
different conceptions of security, ways of thinking and acting,
impact a range of security ideals and outcomes.
