The chapters cover important aspects of what PMOs are, the history of U.S. PMOs, how they function, the dilemmas of secrecy and accountability, the issues of control, criminal conduct, and disposal of proxies, as well as newer developments that may change PMOs in the future. The author argues that the general approach of conducting PMOs as covert operations is inherently flawed since it tends to undermine many possibilities for control over proxies in a situation where the interests of sponsors and proxies necessarily diverge on key issues. | | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | | 关键词 | Paramilitary operations; covert action; US military; hybrid warfare; proxy warfare; CIA; US foreign policy | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-71631-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-10085-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-71631-2 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2018 |
