Microscopic and Macroscopic Responses to Inequalities in the Governance of Security: Respective Experiments in South Africa and Northern Ireland

Abstract

Michael Kempa and Clifford Shearing (in collaboration with John Cartwright and Madeleine Jenneker) examine the multiple 'nodes' of policing in the global era. Through focusing upon the illustrative examples of South Africa and Northern Ireland, a range of normative concerns that are associated with the proliferation of non-state policing and disorder intolerant public policing are identified, and two adaptive policy responses to these concerns are explored.
