Klappentext zu „From Mercenaries to Markets “
Frequently characterized as either mercenaries in modern guise or the market's response to a security vacuum, private military companies are commercial firms offering military services ranging from combat and military training and advice to logistical support, and play an increasingly important role in armed conflicts, UN peace operations, and providing security in unstable states. As private military companies assume more responsibilities in conflict and post-conflict settings, their growing significance raises fundamental questions about their nature, their role in different regions and contexts, and their regulation. This volume examines the interaction between regulation and market forces and analyzes the current legal framework and the needs and possibilities for regulation in the years ahead.

Rezension zu „From Mercenaries to Markets “
As a resource, From Mercenaries to Market serves only as a starting point, but a very good one. At only 256 pages, and covering many different topics relating to PMCs, it is impressive that the contributors provide so much useful analysis and information. Every contribution is well cited, and chapters are complimented by a select bibliography that makes taking the next step easy for inquisitive readers Alex M. Feldman, Journal of International Law and Politics Despite some critical remarks, both books offer interesting and serious scholarship about a very difficult and controversial topic. In addition, both books offer some fresh angles and even new topics that are not usually examined in the PMC discourse Erkki Holmila, Finnish Yearbook of International Law
