"Joining Forces challenges governments, companies, NGOs and citizens to step up to the challenge of re-shaping and re-defining our approach to security. It argues that our new security doctrine needs to be underpinned by three assumptions.
First, just as governments have lost their monopoly on the use of force, they must accept they no longer have a monopoly over security.
Second, in a networked world, effective security depends more on our ability to collaborate than on having the right 'kit'.
Finally, security is not something that is done to you or for you - participation is key."
