520    "Whether they train police forces in Afghanistan or 
       provide military assistance to governments in Africa that 
       are battling rebel groups, private military and security 
       companies (PMSCs) or corporations that provide security & 
       military services for profit have been present in numerous
       conflicts around the globe. In 1984 only one international
       PMSC intervened in a civil war, in 1989 there were 15 
       international PMSCs present in conflict zones, while from 
       2004-2019 nearly 130 of such companies provided services 
       during the Iraq war. Why do international PMSCs sometimes 
       help with conflict termination while in other cases their 
       intervention is associated with prolonged wars? And in 
       what ways does market competition affect PMSCs' military 
       effectiveness? Relying on quantitative analysis of 
       original data on international PMSCs' involvement in civil
       wars from 1990-2008 and PMSCs' human rights and fraud 
       violations in Iraq from 2004-2019, the book investigates 
       how local and global competition impact accountability of 
       these non-state actors and their contribution to the 
       termination of major and minor wars"--|cProvided by
