The book consists of contributions of among others, Bas Eenhoorn (Mayor during the Alphen a/d Rijn shooting incident), Rob de Wijk (HCSS), Lieutenant General off duty Ruurd Reitsma, Paul Nieuwenburg (Leiden University) and Ida Haisma (HSD). The contribution of The Hague Security Delta focusses on public-private cooperation in the crisis management and security domain as a possible solution to the identified issues. Practical solutions are provided to make public-private cooperation a success.
