VICESSE Research GmbH

VICESSE focuses on the analysis of a wide array of security issues in a broader societal context. We locate security problems and proposed solutions emerging at local, national and European levels in wider social and historical contexts. Conceiving of security as a societal concept, we strive to integrate and combine different analytical perspectives into a complex framework providing the basis for rigorous empirical and theoretical academic studies and pragmatic policy solutions alike. The VICESSE mission statement is to bring security back into society. This entails a dual task: linking contemporary security solutions to the everyday world of citizens and giving members of society a critical voice in security research.
