Contemporary security policy is no longer a matter of protecting
borders or fighting an identified foreign enemy. With
counterterrorism high on the security agenda, private citizens and
companies have all come to be seen as central to the aim of
providing security. Situated within the debate on terrorism risk
and security, Corporate Risk and National Security Redefined offers
a detailed analysis of the role of private companies in American
and Danish counter-terrorism policies. The book shows that a
'responsibilization strategy' is central to both the American and
Danish security policy - a strategy which tends to portray security
as a 'duty' rather than the 'right' that it traditionally has been
considered as. The study however finds that such strategies have
been received very differently in the business communities of the
two countries. The book brings the corporate understandings of the
relation between corporate risk and national security to the fore,
and let the reader in on a constant conceptual battle and
negotiation on the meaning of national security and corporate risk.
Corporate Risk and National Security Redefined will be of interest
to students and scholars of international relations, critical
security, business and terrorism.
This book scrutinizes how contemporary practices of security have
come to rely on many different translations of security, risk, and
danger. Institutions of national security policies are currently
undergoing radical conceptual and organisational changes, and this
book presents a novel approach for how to study and politically
address the new situation. Complex and uncertain threat
environments, such as terrorism, climate change, and the global
financial crisis, have paved the way for new forms of security
governance that have profoundly transformed the ways in which
threats are handled today. Crucially, there is a decentralisation
of the management of security, which is increasingly handled by a
broad set of societal actors that previously were not considered
powerful in the conduct of security affairs. This transformation of
security knowledge and management changes the meaning of
traditional concepts and practices, and calls for investigation
into the many meanings of security implied when contemporary
societies manage radical dangers, risks, and threats. It is
necessary to study both what these meanings are and how they
developed from the security practices of the past. Addressing this
knowledge gap, the book asks how different ideas about threats,
risk, and dangers meet in the current practices of security,
broadly understood, and with what political consequences. This book
will be of interest to students of critical security studies,
anthropology, risk studies, science and technology studies and
International Relations. The Open Access version of this book,

Intelligence on the Frontier Between State and Civil Society shows
how today's intelligence practices constantly contest the frontiers
between normal politics and security politics, and between civil
society and the state. Today's intelligence services face the
difficult task of having to manage the uncertainties associated
with new threats by inviting civil actors in to help, while also
upholding their own institutional authority and responsibility to
act in the interest of the nation. This volume examines three
different perspectives: Managerial practices of intelligence
collection and communication; the increased use of new forms of
data (i.e. of social media information); and the expansion of
intelligence practices into new areas of concern, for example
cybersecurity and the policing of (mis-)information. This book
accurately addresses these three topics, and all chapters shine
more light on the inclusion, and exclusion, of civil society in the
secret world of intelligence. By scrutinizing how intelligence
services balance the inclusion of civil society in security tasks
with the need to uphold their institutional authority, Intelligence
on the Frontier Between State and Civil Society will be of great
interest to scholars of Security Studies and Intelligence Studies.
The chapters were originally published as a special issue of
Intelligence and National Security.
