Introduction -- Alternatives to ad hoc sovereign forces -- From mercenary to UN contractor? -- The public-private security environment -- Other industry aspects -- A modest proposal -- Conclusion.
"The history of United Nations peacekeeping is largely one of failure. This book puts a case for augmenting ad hoc peacekeepers with competent contract labour; and within the constraints of a new legal regime, supporting future operations with well-trained contractors who might subdue by force those who inflict gross human rights abuses on others"--Provided by publisher.
