Are you concerned about the rise of private military companies (PMCs) and their potential for misconduct? Look no further than the groundbreaking book, "Regulating Private Military Companies". This thought-provoking work explores the effectiveness of existing and evolving PMC regulations, questioning their ability to control private force adequately.

Delving into history, the book highlights the pivotal role that private soldiers played in warfare until the rise of national citizen armies. Today, PMCs have once again emerged as a significant force, providing indispensable security, logistics, and strategy services worldwide. With their corporate legal personality, PMCs have gained a legitimizing status that reshapes the prevailing governance model.

Through a comprehensive examination of different governance models throughout history, this book presents the relationship between neoliberal states and PMCs as a form of "shared governance". It underscores how states rely on PMCs to transfer certain functions to the private sector, offering a new perspective on the dynamics between non-state actors and traditional government bodies.

As non-state actors gain more authority and self-regulate, the need for effective regulation and accountability becomes paramount. "Regulating Private Military Companies" explores potential avenues for enacting responsible regulation, invoking other sources of law to ensure PMCs act within legal bounds. As you delve into its pages, you'll gain invaluable insights into the complex world of PMCs and the challenges they pose to both national and international law.
