Description
Private Military and Security Contractors: Controlling the Corporate Warrior explores the complex phenomenon of private military and security companies (PMSCs) in international politics. This book examines the formal and informal mechanisms of control that govern their use by states, as well as the industry's ability to regulate itself.
The authors analyze the social and role identities of contract employees, their acceptance by military personnel, and potential tensions between them. They also discuss the extent and willingness of key states to monitor and enforce discipline in contractual relations with PMSCs, both on land and at sea.
Furthermore, the book 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. This study is relevant to scholars and practitioners alike, providing valuable information on effective practices and the need for international legal reform.
