Conveniently structured into five sections, The Routledge Research
Companion to Outsourcing Security offers an overview of the
different ways in which states have come to rely on private
contractors to support interventions. Part One puts into context
the evolution of outsourcing in Western states that are actively
involved in expeditionary operations as well as the rise of the
commercial security sector in Afghanistan. To explain the various
theoretical frameworks that students can use to study
security/military outsourcing, Part Two outlines the theories
behind security outsourcing. Part Three examines the law and ethics
surrounding the outsourcing of security by focusing on how states
might monitor contractor behaviour, hold them to account and
prosecute them where their behaviour warrants such action. The
drivers, politics and consequences of outsourcing foreign policy
are covered in Part Four, which is divided into two sections:
section one is concerned with armed contractors (providing the
provision of private security with the main driver being a
capability gap on the part of the military/law enforcement
agencies), and section two looks at military contractors
(supporting military operations right back to antiquity, less
controversial politically and often technologically driven). The
final Part takes into consideration emerging perspectives,
exploring areas such as gender, feminist methodology, maritime
security and the impact of private security on the military
profession. This book will be of much interest to students of
military and security studies, foreign policy and International
Relations.
