Privatization of Security as a State-Led and Class-Driven Process: The Case of Turkey
Dolek, Caglar (2015-07-01)
Private security has become a central form of everyday policing in the Southern and Northern countries alike, and has thereby redefined the modern conception of security, conventionally understood as the exclusive domain of the state.
