While PMSCs provide security for profit, most other private sector stakeholders make a profit by selling goods and services that were not originally connected with security in the traditional sense. However, due to the continuous introduction of new legal and technical regulations by public authorities, many non-security-related private businesses now have to perform at least some security functions.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis volume offers new insights into security practices of non-security-related private businesses and their impact on security governance. The contributions extend beyond the conceptual and theoretical arguments in the existing body of literature to offer a range of original case studies on the specific roles of non-security-related private companies of all sizes, from all areas of business and from different geographic regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssociate Professor\u003cb\u003e Oldrich Bures \u003c\/b\u003eis the Head of the Department of International Relations and European Studies and the Center of Security Studies, both at Metropolitan University Prague.
