Sumario:Security Games: Surveillance and Control at Mega-Events addresses the impact of mega-events - such as the Olympic Games and the World Cup - on wider practices of security and surveillance. ""Mega-Events"" pose peculiar and extensive security challenges. The overwhelming imperative is that ""nothing should go wrong."" There are, however, an almost infinite number of things that can ""go wrong""; producing the perceived need for pre-emptive risk assessments, and an expanding range of security measures, including extensive forms and levels of surveillance. These measures are delivered.
