  While at IHRR, Oldrich’s will expand his previous research on security privatization by examining at how and why an increasing number of private actors beyond private military and/or security companies (PMSCs) have come to perform various security related functions. While PMSCs produce security for profit, most other private sector actors make profit by selling goods and services that were originally not connected with security in the traditional understanding of the term. However, due to the continuous introduction of new legal and technical regulations by public authorities, many non- security related private businesses nowadays have to perform at least some security functions. Little research, however, has been done thus far, both in terms of security practices of non- security related private businesses and their impact on security governance. Oldrich’s research project therefore has two main objectives: 1) Empirical analysis of the security practices of non-security related private businesses and their impact on security governance; 2) Interdisciplinary analysis of conceptual frameworks suitable for bridging the gap between the security-maximizing logic of public security agencies and the profit-maximizing logic of private companies (resilience in particular).
