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.
