描述 | .This book analyses two key topics withininternational politics: the responsibility to protect (R2P) and thecommercialization and privatization of security. In a world of ungoverned spaces, statefailure and erupting humanitarian crises, the international community isincreasingly called upon to exercise its responsibility to protect communitiesunder threat. Here, Krieg explains the civil-military dynamics behind the state’sfailure to effectively intervene in humanitarian crises overseas using itsserviceman. The central question that follows is: would the private militarycontractor be a better alternative agent of the state in humanitarianintervention? This book demonstrates that given his professional identity androle towards client state and public, the contractor can be employedeffectively in humanitarian intervention to generate more ethicaloutcomes. This volume is essentialreading for researchers and post-graduate students of R2P, InternationalSecurity Studies and privatization, as well as Peace and Conflict studies andInternational Relations more broadly.. . . |
