Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The experience of governmental efforts to address non-military transnational threats has demonstrated the limitations of exclusively using interstate means to address these problems. On the other hand, the traditional use of the term NGOs is too crude and unsystematic. The term has to be more differentiated and structured, and the analytical focus has to be expanded to other actors of the private sphere. In this expanded analytical framework, non-state actors such as private business and industry (also private military companies in the realm of security studies), NGOs that are not primarily considered as part of the 'good' civil societies, rebel and guerilla groups and even terrorists have also to be considered. This extended inclusion of non-state actors creates new possibilities of active partnerships between (and selective exclusion of) public and private actors and expands the analytical tools of this cooperation. It allows the analysis of the conditions for the success of private-public partnership by specifically targeting the actors and tools of choice such as the inclusion of the small arms producing and exporting industry to mark and keep records of their weapons or of the banking and insurance industry to cooperate with law enforcement in tackling illicit activities, or the exclusion such as terrorists by freezing their financial assets. This paper tries to assess the conditions under which these kinds of relationship can emerge and when they are successful. It will be argued that selective incentives and sanctions can increase the effectiveness of these partnerships and change the behavior of the targeted actors, if the measures are designed and implemented in a manner that reflects the goals they are attempting to achieve and the preferences and vulnerabilities of the specific actors they are trying to influence.
