INTERNATIONALIZATION AND PRIVATIZATION OF WAR AND PEACE

UN PEACEKEEPING

A new trend in contemporary conflict is the internationalization and privatization of war and peace. What does the internationalization of the armed forces mean for their democratic control, and how can the privatization of the state monopoly of force be prevented? The causes and motives that lead to the international demand for services from the armed forces and from private military companies are manifold - among them: the overstrech of armed forces engaged in international interventions, the availability of military specialist, the modernization of weaponry and the dominance of the concept of "lean state", that led to outsourcing military functions.
