port: Best Principles of Collaborative Security Governance - Lessons from the 2010 Soccer World Cup
5 May 2011

The aim of this report is to outline the findings of research that was conducted by the Centre of Criminology, University of Cape Town, in 2010 on the sustainability of collaborative security governance arrangements arising from the 2010 Soccer World Cup. The project was funded by the Open Society Foundation for South Africa and was entitled Towards Sustainable Public-Private Partnership Policing in South Africa: A Study of Major Events Policing in the City of Cape Town, 2010. The research was conducted on the premise that the Soccer World Cup would provide a potential model for collaborative security governance or partnership policing (involving a range of players). Thus, using Cape Town as a case study, the research sought to analyse the nature of these partnerships through focussing on how local level security functioned, what informed these practices and mentalities of security governance, the best practices and challenges of policing the World Cup and the best principles which could be derived from this analysis of best practice.
