Private Military And Security Companies: Chances, Problems, Pitfalls and Prospects Unknown - 2007 - 2007th Edition

by THOMAS JGER


From the publisher

Private Sicherheits- und Militrunternehmen erleben seit den 1990er Jahren einen au erordentlichen Boom und sind derzeit eines der spannendsten Phnomene in den internationalen Beziehungen. Die Palette der von ihnen angebotenen Dienstleistungen ist gro . Sie reichen von logistischer Untersttzung ber Aufklrung bis hin zu Kampfeinstzen. Zu ihren Kunden zhlen Regierungen, Wirtschaftsunternehmen, internationale Organisationen, NGOs, humanitre Organisationen sowie Privatpersonen. Gegenwrtig lsst sich an den Auseinandersetzungen im Irak sowohl die Aktualitt wie auch die Brisanz ihres Einsatzes illustrieren, gibt es doch Anzeichen dafr, dass Beschftigte solcher Unternehmen u.a. in die Folterung von Gefangenen verwickelt sind. Die Beitrge des Sammelbandes aus der Feder nationaler wie internationaler Expertinnen und Experten beschreiben und analysieren verschiedene Typen von privaten Sicherheits- und Militrunternehmens, ihre Dienstleistungen und die Umstnde, die ihren Boom befrdert haben. Sie diskutieren die Vor- wie auch die Nachteile ihres Einsatzes und beschreiben Instrumente, die die Ttigkeit dieser Unternehmen strker reglementieren und kontrollieren knnten.

From the rear cover

Private military and security companies have become a distinct and increasingly relevant phenomenon in defense and security politics. They can be used in different settings and situations and constitute adequate tools for their various clients. Yet, there is an intense debate about them since they may and do generate specific problems, including severe violations of democratic norms and human rights codices. The present collection of contributions to this topic by distinct experts in the field is unique as it covers most, if not all aspects involved in the use of private military and security companies. As such this anthology serves the interests of both the layman in the field who may read this book as a thorough and encompassing introduction to the field as well as those of the specialist - be it a politician, a journalist, a defense/security practitioner, a student or an academic - who will find new information and genuine, and sometimes even provocative, ideas.
