Towards sustainable solutions in international security management—An introduction

Abstract

In this introduction to the book, we consider key questions, such as; What is safety and security management? And what kinds of complex, grand challenges do organisations and stakeholders face in the security field? In the second part of the chapter, we shed light on three principles that characterise our approach throughout this book, namely the adoption of positive, solution-oriented and multi/inter-disciplinary approaches to security management. In addition, we provide an overview of the book’s structure and identify key cross-cutting themes related to globalisation, digitalisation and stakeholder relationships. As such, this chapter integrates the diverse perspectives in this book to consider how multiple stakeholders can work together to co-create positive safety.
