Dr Paul Higate was recently interviewed for a radio programme in Australia. The programme discussed how the scandal over a shortfall in security in the lead up to the recent London Olympic Games illustrated the degree to which governments have come to rely on private security companies, even for events as important as the Olympics, and looked at the history of private military and security companies.To listen to the programme, which was broadcast on 26 August, 2012, see:
