This study presents intriguing analysis of the impact of private
security companies' practices upon the fields of security and
politics in the Czech Republic. It situates cases concerning ABL,
the biggest Czech private security company, in the larger social,
political, legal and economic contexts of the booming private
security business. This company's extensive linkages with Czech
politics suggest that the continued absence of specific legislation
for the regulation of private security companies' activities is due
to too much, rather than too little, political interest in their
activities. This is problematic, arguably, because the practices of
private security companies have already contributed to a
significant transformation of the Czech security field by enhancing
the commodification and depoliticization of security, while ABL's
use of security methods for political purposes and a business
approach to politics have profoundly transformed the field of
politics. Reflecting the growing interest in the privatization of
security, this timely study unpacks the relationship between
politics, business and security in the Czech Republic.
