The Markets for Force examines and compares the markets for private
military and security contractors in twelve nations: Argentina,
Guatemala, Peru, Ecuador, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic,
Ukraine, Russia, Afghanistan, China, Canada, and the United States.
Editors Molly Dunigan and Ulrich Petersohn argue that the global
market for force is actually a conglomeration of many types of
markets that vary according to local politics and geostrategic
context. Each case study investigates the particular
characteristics of the region's market, how each market evolved
into its current form, and what consequence the privatized market
may have for state military force and the provision of public
safety. The comparative standpoint sheds light on better-known
markets but also those less frequently studied, such as the
state-owned and -managed security companies in China, militaries
working for private sector extractive industries in Ecuador and
Peru, and the ways warlord forces overlap with private security
companies in Afghanistan. An invaluable resource for scholars and
policymakers alike, The Markets for Force offers both an empirical
analysis of variations in private military and security companies
across the globe and deeper theoretical knowledge of how such
markets develop. Contributors: Olivia Allison, Oldrich Bures,
