Public and Private Security in the Republic of Macedonia: Cooperation and Partnership in the Security Risk Management

Summary/Abstract: In situations of increased risks from security threats, the need to provide a common response to the illegal migration and human trafficking increases the responsibility for succeeful migration management and control, which goes beyond the usual actors – i.e. the state authorities. Such situations call for more direct inclusion of the private sector. The central research issue proposed here is focused on the analysis whether the private security sector is interested at all to engage in such partnerships. Usually, there are short term expenditures and security risks, and that is why it is important to take into consideration how will they be stimulated and encouraged to ‘invest’ in security in such a way. That is why distinct regulations, defined interactions, clearly expressed will for cooperation and making efforts in order to explain how the improved security is a mutual priority and challenge both for public and private security, are necessary. These partnerships and other forms of cooperation have another dimension too. It refers to the expected decrease of expenditures for providing security, which is especially important for both sectors. The cooperation and the partnership in the paper are analyzed through the prism of the role which both sectors have in the provision of security, whereas security will not be perceived as an expense, but rather a joint contribution for the protection of the security of the community.
