Focal Report 2: Critical Infrastructure Protection

Abstract

This report, organized into two sections, first identifies three trends in CIP based on the review of recently released policy and scientific documents (October 2008 to March 2009). This is followed by an annotated bibliography that continues and builds upon the foundation laid in Focal Report 1. This section covers texts and resources for CIP in two sections: policy documents and academic texts. Second, the report highlights Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in the domain of CIP from a theoretical perspective. It draws on recent theories developed in public administration research, contributing to a better understanding of the associated challenges and potentials for cooperation between public and private actors. This main part is followed by a short selection of the most important academic literature in this domain.
