Description:This book examines the political consequences of European security commercialisation through increased reliance on private military and security companies (PMSCs).The role of commercial security in the domestic setting in Europe is widely acknowledged; after all, the biggest private security company globally - G4S Group - has its roots in Scandinavia.
