In 2014, the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) set up the Global Reflection Group �Monopoly on the Use of Force 2.0?� to examine the challenges presented by the current international, regional and domestic security arrangements. The conclusion is a �two-pronged approach�: strengthen the state monopoly on the legitimate use of force or, where appropriate, initiate a process to meld the growing number of fragmented security providers into a regulated and coordinated security architecture that protects citizens in an inclusive and accountable way.
