Dangerous US/NATO Expansion in Norway (May 2021 video)
In recent years, the US and NATO have been militarizing the Arctic through Norway as a means to confront Russia. This militarization is increasing tensions between nuclear-armed nations.

Blurring the monopoly on violence: Private Military and Security Companies and coercive state power

The state’s role in security has been progressively privatised, from the military to the prison system. The result is a shadowy corporate world in which violence is facilitated, accountability is diminished and human rights violations and impunity abounds.
