- It refers to cooperation between firms in the private sector.
Security Studies Approaches
- Security studies have evolved from a focus on interstate war and military intervention to address more contemporary security challenges.
Governing Without Government
- Cooperation in international security often occurs without a centralized governing authority.
- Organizations like NATO and the UN facilitate cooperation to combat transnational threats like terrorism, cyber threats, and climate change.
Network Governance in Security
- Network governance is crucial in managing security in a globalized world.
- Security threats often require cooperation from governments, international organizations, private companies, and NGOs.
Multilevel Governance
