This edition stresses some critical reflectons regarding security
policies before and during Sport Events in our contemporary era of
generalized insecurity. Sport competitions at the national,
European and global levels have evolved in terms of economic
investment, social importance and media coverage. However, this
evolution has brought with it major political concerns. At the same
time, the dominant question regarding the organization of
competitions in our post-modern, neoliberal risk societies is the
creation of a safe and secure milieu; the need of construction of
an environment of life where sport events and the multiple
activities and interests related to them can be kept safe from any
risk and potentially harmful occurrence. In the name of security,
anticipatory dispositifs and risk management practices,
rationalities and technologies of government do not exclusively
attempt to prevent disastrous incidents or to maintain order in
situ. Involving a set of heteronymous public and private
organizations and bureaucraties, state "experts" and not state
"security managers", proactive security strategies seek to imagine
the future, to pre-empt, to act in advance, to anticipate possible
catastrophic incidents by managing populations and spaces in order
to set, to assure, with any cost, the ideal conditions. The aim of
this volume is to highlight the complex set of legal provisions,
surveillance and policing practices, discourses, bureaucratic
procedures and spatial and architectural forms underpin the
security governance of sport events and their effects in the
contemporary era of widespread uncertainty. This book was published
as a special issue of Sport in Society.
