Through an array of theoretical approaches and empirical material,
this comprehensive and accessible volume surveys private armed
forces and directly challenges conventional stereotypes of security
contractors. Private Armed Forces and Global Security: A Guide to
the Issues is the first book to provide a comprehensive yet
accessible survey of the private military groups involved in
conflicts worldwide. Organized around four themes, it covers the
history of private military forces since 1600, the main
contemporary actors and their defining characteristics, the
environments in which private armed forces operate, and provides an
analysis of the logic behind privatizing security. This book goes
beyond conventional knowledge, offering both a theoretical approach
and a new, practical perspective to advance the understanding of
the ongoing climate of global instability and relevant players
within it. Numerous examples help the reader grasp the full range
of real-world challenges and conceptual facets surrounding this
fascinating, yet highly polarizing topic.
