4.9/5 (13586 ratings)

Description:"A well-conceived and well-researched book, with unique and detailed case studies that will add significantly to the field."—Elke Krahmann, Brunel University LondonThe 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, Jennifer Catallo, Molly Dunigan, Scott Fitzsimmons, Maiah Jaskoski, Kristina Mani, Carlos Ortiz, Ulrich Petersohn, Jake Sherman, Christopher Spearin.Molly Dunigan is a political scientist at the Rand Corporation and author of Victory for Hire: Private Security Companies' Impact on Military Effectiveness.Ulrich Petersohn teaches international politics at the University of Liverpool and is coauthor of Hired Guns: Views About Armed Contractors in Operation Iraqi Freedom.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
