在后9/11背景下,安全问题日益成为举办大型体育赛事(SME)的核心问题。奥运会等活动的安保预算现在高达数十亿美元。本文试图从实质性和分析性的角度推进中小企业安全研究这一新兴领域。我们确定了该领域正在形成的三组问题和问题:第一,与全球北方和全球南方有关的比较问题,特别是考虑到越来越多的中小企业将在全球南方举办;第二,针对不同中小企业的各种风险和安全战略,包括感知到的恐怖主义威胁、观众暴力以及与贫困、社会分化和城市犯罪相关的更广泛的风险;第三,中小企业带来的安全遗产,如新的监控技术、注重安全的新社会政策和受安全影响的城市重建。我们认为,未来对中小企业安全治理的研究应该以一个综合的理论框架为基础。这一框架汇集了三个特殊的方面:第一,探索“安全领域”的社会学方法,部分借鉴了布尔迪厄;第二,批判性城市地理理论,将安全战略与城市环境中的社会控制和消费的新架构联系起来;以及第三,不同的风险理论,特别是在反身性现代化、政府和文化社会学问题方面。
In the post-9/11 context, security issues have become increasingly central to the hosting of sport mega-event (SMEs). Security budgets for events like the Olympic Games now run into billions of dollars. This article seeks to advance the emerging field of SME security research in substantive and analytical terms. We identify three sets of issues and problems that are taking shape within this field: first, comparative issues in relationship to the Global North and Global South, notably given the growing number of SMEs set to be staged in the Global South; second, various risks and security strategies that are specific to different SMEs, including perceived terrorist threats, spectator violence, and broader risks associated with poverty, social divisions, and urban crime; and third, the security legacies that follow from SMEs, such as new surveillance technologies, new security-focused social policies, and security-influenced urban redevelopment. We argue that future research into SME security governance should be underpinned by a synthetic theoretical framework. This framework brings together three particular strands: first, a sociological approach that explores the "security field," drawing in part on Bourdieu; second, critical urban geographical theory, which contextualizes security strategies in relationship to new architectures of social control and consumption in urban settings; and third, different strands of risk theory, notably in regard to reflexive modernization, governmentality, and cultural sociological questions.
