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 publisher. 588 Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on September 17, 2020). 590 Rider Faculty Publications 650 0 Private military companies.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008005735 650 0 Private security services.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh86004146 650 0 Mercenary troops.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85083749 650 0 Civil war.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85026421 650 7 Private military companies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1746082 650 7 Private security services.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1077603 650 7 Mercenary troops.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1016918 650 7 Civil war.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/862883 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Radziszewski, Elizabeth,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n2013007134|eauthor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aAkcinaroglu, Seden, 1972-|tCompetition, market accountability, and private military and security industry in civil wars|dNew York : Oxford University Press, [2019]|z9780197520802|w(DLC) 2020014157 856 40 |zOnline ebook via Oxford scholarship online.
