Non-State Responses to Insecurity and Corruption

Abstract

The fight against the contemporary key threats to (inter-)national security is generally considered to be a key task for national governments worldwide. In several areas, however, private rather than public entities have shouldered the bulk of the burden of this fight. This panel therefore focuses on the role public-private partnerships (the business community) and non-governmental organisations (mass media, NGOs) have in countering corruption in particular and insecurity in general.
