Beskrivning

One of the biggest dilemmas of our times is how much safety and security we desire and what price we are prepared to pay for it. By applying and advancing the methods of social research this book fills the gap in the study of security and security risks by analyzing unique data (media, survey, macro data) of transnational security issues in three areas of critical infrastructure – air transport, public transport and energy provision networks.
