For two hundred years the provision of military security has been a
central and defining function of the modern nation-state. The
increasing reliance on private military and security companies in
contemporary conflict marks a fundamental transformation in the
organization of military violence, and it raises issues of
accountability and ethics that are of particular concern to
feminists. This privatization of force not only enables states to
circumvent citizens' democratic control over questions of war and
peace, but also undermines women's and minority groups' claims for
greater inclusion in the military sphere. Gender and Private
Security in Global Politics brings together key scholars from the
fields of international relations, security studies, and gender
studies to argue that privatization of military security is a
deeply gendered process. The chapters employ a variety of feminist
perspectives, including critical, postcolonial, poststructuralist,
and queer feminist perspectives, as well as a wide range of
methodological approaches including ethnography,
participant-observation, genealogy, and discourse analysis. This is
the first book to develop an extended feminist analysis of private
militaries and to draw on feminist concerns regarding power,
justice and equality to consider how to reform and regulate private
forces.
