Simon Fraser University Library Burnaby, BC, Canada The rise of the modern private military industry in the 1990s is explained and claims about the benefits and hazards of privatized military force are evaluated from a public interest perspective. Evidence about the cost effectiveness of employing private military companies (PMCs) is found to be inconclusive, although outsourcing has the potential to increase military flexibility and provide states with newly emerging capabilities in the short run. Governments are shown to have "hidden" motives for outsourcing military functions. It is argued that most benefits of privatization are conditional and that PMC-related hazards threaten to do long-term damage to the rule of law (both nationally and internationally), to the militaries which most rely on private contractors and to the fabric of constitutional democracy.

But ours is a nation born of ideas and raised on improbability, and risk aversion is not America's ethic ...and more important, it must not be ours." - Donald Rumsfeld, 2001, speech to Pentagon staff' CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION Organized bodies of mercenaries date back to at least the 14'~century, when condottieri --translated literally as "military contractors" -- were commonly hired by various Italian state^.^ Since the early lgthcentury, however, the expectation has been that expertise pertaining to armed force was the exclusive domain of the state. As such, the state assumed responsibility and accountability for the conduct of military and security services. In the early 2othcentury, Max Weber formalized the idea of a state monopoly on the legitimate use of force as a political concept, arguing that the state must be characterized by the means which it, and only it, has at its disposal. The emergence of the modern private military industry, however, upsets this arrangement, revealing that the approach adopted in the modern state period no longer applies in all cases. That is, the state no longer holds a monopoly on the resources and decision-making capability related to the organized application of force.3 Some forms of private sector involvement in military affairs are, of course, long established. Defence contractors such as Boeing, Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin have for decades produced weapons and other related technology for armed forces. The United States has also periodically used private firms to assist with covert operations over the years.4 There are, however, several key differences between these activities and the present day use of private contractors. First, the number of contractors now working for states is unprecedented. During the 1990s and into the new century the private sector's role 1 Donald Rumsfeld, "DoD Acquisition and Logistics Excellence Week Kickoff - Bureaucracy to Battlefield", 2peech, September 10,2001.

  • Chapter 23 – the Rise of Fascism and Totalitarian States 1
    Chapter 23 – The Rise of Fascism and Totalitarian States 1. Introduction Click to read caption “The world must be made safe for democracy,” President Woodrow Wilson declared as the United States entered World War I in 1917. However, the Central Powers’ defeat did not produce that result. Hopes for democracy were soon crushed by the disappointing peace that followed—a peace in which even some of the war’s winners felt more like losers. Anger seethed on the losing side as well. Resentment was most prominent among the Germans, who suffered from the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles peace settlement. While bitterness festered, nations also struggled to rebuild war-torn economies. As a result, the peace of the 1920s was a troubled one, marked by instability within nations and between them. Unrest intensified in the 1930s, as the Great Depression that began in the United States spread around the world. The hard times that followed, when added to tensions that already existed, caused people in some countries to support autocratic leaders who promised order, prosperity, and a better future. To many, the sacrifice of freedom these leaders demanded seemed a fair price to pay for the benefits they offered. Dictatorships developed in Germany, Italy, the Soviet Union, Hungary, Portugal, Poland, Romania, and elsewhere. Themes Cultural Interaction Fascism was an ideology that placed patriotism, loyalty to strong leaders, and the welfare of the state above the rights and freedoms of its citizens. Political Systems The political and economic disorder that resulted from World War I and the Great Depression helped communism and fascism to spread and totalitarian dictators to gain power.

  • Noncombatant Immunity and War-Profiteering
    In Oxford Handbook of Ethics of War / Published 2017 / doi:10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199943418.001.0001 Noncombatant Immunity and War-Profiteering Saba Bazargan Department of Philosophy UC San Diego Abstract The principle of noncombatant immunity prohibits warring parties from intentionally targeting noncombatants. I explicate the moral version of this view and its criticisms by reductive individualists; they argue that certain civilians on the unjust side are morally liable to be lethally targeted to forestall substantial contributions to that war. I then argue that reductivists are mistaken in thinking that causally contributing to an unjust war is a necessary condition for moral liability. Certain noncontributing civilians—notably, war-profiteers— can be morally liable to be lethally targeted. Thus, the principle of noncombatant immunity is mistaken as a moral (though not necessarily as a legal) doctrine, not just because some civilians contribute substantially, but because some unjustly enriched civilians culpably fail to discharge their restitutionary duties to those whose victimization made the unjust enrichment possible. Consequently, the moral criterion for lethal liability in war is even broader than reductive individualists have argued. 1 In Oxford Handbook of Ethics of War / Published 2017 / doi:10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199943418.001.0001 1. Background 1.1. Noncombatant Immunity and the Combatant’s Privilege in International Law In Article 155 of what came to be known as the ‘Lieber Code’, written in 1866, Francis Lieber wrote ‘[a]ll enemies in regular war are divided into two general classes—that is to say, into combatants and noncombatants’. As a legal matter, this distinction does not map perfectly onto the distinction between members and nonmembers of an armed force.
