  • Contracting out to Private Military and Security Companies
    Tzifakis, Nikolaos
    The global trend for contracting out the supply of military and security services is growing. Security is being transformed from a service for the public or common good into a privately provided ... service. The present paper by Nikolaos Tzifakis argues that the implications of outsourcing security services to private agencies are not a priori positive or negative; proper regulation of private military and security services is important. The author recommends that states should determine their 'inherently governmental functions' and keep these functions out of the market's reach. States should attempt to mitigate some of the shortcomings in the operation of the private market for security services by preventing supply from determining its own demand. States need to avoid contracting out services to corporations that enjoy a monopoly in the market. Instead, they should open competitive bids for all private security contracts.
