Private security has once again been called upon to help conquer new frontiers for capitalist exploitation, assisting with primitive accumulation in a transnational neoliberal project that proceeds largely through "accumulation by dispossession" (Harvey, 2003:67).2 The neoliberal3 economic policies of global privatization and economic deregulation currently championed by the U.K. and the U.S.-coupled with the "war on terrorism" (which is substantially an imperialist exercise)-are creating a hothouse for private security entrepreneurs, largely U.S. and British, who offer for sale a panoply of services to governmental, nongovernmental, and transnational corporate clients. Tens of thousands of security contractors and private soldiers supplement regular military forces of the coalition (S...

The war on drugs is an important feature of neoliberalism in Canada. Yet while the relationship between the drug war and neoliberal policy has been the subject of focus by writers in the US, it has received little attention in the literature on either drug policy or neoliberalism in Canada. Gordon examines this gap by using a political-economy framework, which highlights the central role played by drug prohibition in the street-based operationalization of neoliberal restructuring and links the policing dynamic to the historical role drug criminalization has played in Canada.

Based on the analysis of the specific environment in which football clubs compete, this paper presents a comparative institutional analysis of three paradigmatic structures of football club governance: privately owned football firms, public football corporations (stock corporations with dispersed ownership) and members' associations with an own legal personality (Verein). Against the background that "spending power" is the main driver of competitive advantage for clubs in the overinvestment environment of European football, the governance structure of the privately owned football firm exhibits superior abilities to tap sources of funding and channel them into playing talent. The results of the analysis are applied to current developments in German and English football and to recent init...
