This article considers the development of the liberal state's approach to national security in the era of the 'war on terror'. The analysis focuses on state security strategies, considering how the state positions the politics of security historically through its representation of the current security 'environment'. Drawing upon a critical analysis of the various layers of official strategy produced by the UK, US and Australia in this era, the article considers in the first instance the process of depoliticisation that defines the official understanding of security threats. The effects of depoliticising the issues and individuals deemed to constitute a threat to national security are subsequently considered through the theory of pacification plotting the links between securitization, depoliticisation and pacification. In doing so the analysis demonstrates how the framing of national security is pivotal to the official representation of 'extremism' and to the subsequent policing of protest and political activity. The article therefore suggests that the liberal state's politics of security are defined by a pacification process that seeks to produce citizen-subjects who are unable and unwilling to resist the current social order.

Internationally, documentary content has been a key area of innovation and experimentation for public broadcasters and public funding bodies as television moves beyond broadcast and into online and multiplatform environments. This has not been the case in New Zealand where the production of an online or convergent television documentary has had little or no support from either the primary funding body (NZ On Air) or any broadcaster. This paper examines the factors that have slowed the adoption of new platforms and technologies in television documentary in New Zealand from a critical political economy perspective, with an emphasis on the unique conditions that have shaped New Zealand's documentary production ecology. Through analysis of opportunities for innovation and barriers to participation in an emergent global new media ecology, this paper argues that a continued lack of investment in public service media significantly inhibits the development and wellbeing of New Zealand's documentary production ecology.

This paper will consider how effective the arrangements for coping with potentially life-threatening situations are likely to be, following recent major changes in the funding, role and structure of civil protection in the United Kingdom. Two conflicting forces have been at work creating pressure for changes in civil protection in the UK and other industrial economies in recent years. The end of the Cold War and public sector budget constraints have increased the pressure on Western European governments to realize a 'peace dividend' as rapidly as possible, by transferring resources from any form of defence to more productive uses. At the same time the growing public support in Europe for the cause of environmental protection, and an increasing awareness of the threats to sustainable development posed by modern society, is pushing the same governments towards greater measures of protection against peacetime hazards.
