PRIVATE SECURITY AND FRAGILE STATES

Summary/Abstract: In response to the failed states, international actors, institutions, states, and non-governmental organizations have taken steps to counter the impending problems, humanitarian and security, in these countries. Promising to provide protection and security within the region controlled by non-state actors, they raise customs, as evidence that the state has lost its territorial dominance. By doing so, state legitimacy is further degraded, and the presence of other competing actors would transfer monopoly of violence from the state. In this context, most often weak existing authority, prefers to contract military private companies in the absence of a strong and compact armed state, or because of an ineffective international community. In these circumstances, private military contractors have competitive advantages and their professionalism contrasts with fragile state armies’ mediocrity. Differences occur between public and private sectors; therefore public institutions are often driven by delicate situations.
