Commercial and information security, homeland security, counter terrorism and policing, disaster prevention, management and recovery, and safety and health issues have become inseparably intertwined as globalisation poses profound challenges to international security.
It is no longer only nation-states that are facing and influencing the challenges and opportunities of complex global systems: Fifty-one per cent of the top 100 global economies are companies, 300 multinational corporations account for 25 per cent of total global assets and more than 40 per cent of total world trade occurs within corporations. Also as a result of globalization and technology, individual actors can intentionally cause disruptions and inflict damage on a massive scale.
