Private Military and Security Companies and States: Force Divided By Christopher SpearinEnglish | PDF | 2017 | 239 Pages | ISBN : 3319549022 | 12.8 MB
This book identifies and explains the functional and ideational boundaries regarding what states and Private Military and Security Companies (PMSCs) both do and possess regarding land power, sea power, and air power. Whereas the mercenaries, privateers, and chartered companies of years past held similar characteristics to state military forces, the PMSCs of today are dissimilar for two reasons: a conventional forces norm amongst states and a state proclivity towards the offensive.
