In Private Military and Security Contractors (PMSCs) a
multinational team of scholars and experts address a developing
phenomenon: controlling the use of privatized force by states in
international politics. Robust analyses of the evolving,
multi-layered tapestry of formal and informal mechanisms of control
address the microfoundations of the market, such as the social and
role identities of contract employees, their acceptance by military
personnel, and potential tensions between them. The extent and
willingness of key states-South Africa, the United States, Canada,
the United Kingdom, and Israel-to monitor and enforce discipline to
structure their contractual relations with PMSCs on land and at sea
is examined, as is the ability of the industry to regulate itself.
Also discussed is the nascent international legal regime to
reinforce state and industry efforts to encourage effective
practices, punish inappropriate behavior, and shape the market to
minimize the hazards of loosening states' oligopolistic control
over the means of legitimate organized violence. The volume
presents a theoretically-informed synthesis of micro- and
macro-levels of analysis, offering new insights into the challenges
of controlling the agents of organized violence used by states for
scholars and practitioners alike.
