| • Research Aims and Policy Implications: |
1. The research contributes towards developing a theoretical framework for understanding the role of private security in late modernity and emerging structures of global governance.
|
2. The research assesses the social, political and security impact of private security in developing countries by examining four specific cases: South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, and Sierra Leone.
|
|
The Globalisation of Private Security research project is funded by the New Security Challenges programme of the Economic and Social Research Council of the UK (ESRC). The New Security Challenges programme was launched in 2003, and aims to promote research into security which builds upon, but moves beyond, the traditional preoccupation with military conflict between states. By supporting innovative research, the programme seeks to define a more comprehensive agenda to meet the security challenges of the twenty-first century.
