Description
Security Games: Surveillance and Control at Mega-Events explores how mega-events, such as the Olympic Games and the World Cup, shape wider practices of security and surveillance.
The need for extensive security measures is driven by the imperative that "nothing should go wrong" during these events. This has led to a proliferation of pre-emptive risk assessments and an expanding range of security measures, including advanced forms and levels of surveillance.
By examining the impact of mega-events on security and surveillance, this book provides insight into the complex ways in which technology, institutional motivations, and public-private security arrangements intersect. It offers a glimpse into a possible future where extensive monitoring becomes increasingly common.
