The privatisation of defence assets and the outsourcing of military
services from the armed forces to the private sector is an
increasing trend. This book shows the extent to which many military
functions and activities, ranging from military research to
military consulting/training to operational support services, have
been outsourced in the US and in Europe. While other books in this
field largely cover the issues of Private Military Companies and of
security contractors, this book focuses on technical and management
services.This detailed study provides new and updated information
on the ongoing privatisation of the defence sector and offers an
original theoretical explanation of why the most modern armed
forces throughout the world have come increasingly to rely on
private companies for nearly everything they do. Contributing to a
better understanding of military privatisation and its close
connection to technological change, this book explains the
complexity of the whole phenomenon and discusses its implications
for national and international security.
