Leírás

Private military and security companies have a substantial role in the security environment of post-conflict situations by covering vital security needs. The availability of such services carry both opportunities and risks. Contracting PMSCs can effectively support reconstruction efforts, strengthen law and order and on the sly can represent foreign lobby power as well. When it comes to lengthened foreign policy than accountability, oversight, democratic control and transparency is at risk. Therefore these companies can enhance reconstruction and stability but also able to obstruct it.
