Abstract

The introductory chapter to NL ARMS 2016 provides an overview of the multidimensional and multiverse realms of safety and security. From the images, meanings, concepts and definitions aiming to capture safety and security the military relevance of organizing to prevent, detect and react to both accidental (i.e., safety) as well as malicious (i.e., security) risks becomes apparent. In its final section, this introduction navigates across the different contributions to this volume.
