Practices (Re)Producing Orders: Understanding the Role of Business in Global Security Governance.

This paper argues that the focus on the state and state transformation distracts attention to security orders and in particular makes us blind to the role of firms in security orders. It proceeds to suggests that looking at security orders as practices is a way of circumventing this blindness and to move the analysis forward. The paper then discusses what an analysis in terms of practices may entail, emphasizing questions of order, contextuality and change. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
