| Summary: | Focusing on four east European polities (Bosnia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania), this book examines the dynamics and implications of processes of commercialization of security that have occurred following the collapse of communist regimes. These processes have been central to post-communist liberalization, and have profoundly shaped those states and their integration into European institutional structures and global economic and political circuits. They have also affected and been shaped by the behavior and power of regional and global actors (e.g. European institutions, regional and global corporations) in eastern Europe. By virtue of the fact that they combine in complex ways local, national, regional and global dynamics and actors, processes of security commercialization in the former eastern bloc can be seen as instances of 'glocalization.' |
