Contents:

The state system and the evolution of the just war tradition -- Jus ad bellum principles and privatized war -- Privatization and the normative challenge to jus in bello rules -- The ethics of war, the market for private force, and the public/private divide.

Summary: Recent decades have seen an increasing reliance on private military contractors (PMCs) to provide logistical services, training, maintenance, and combat troops. This book examines the ethical implications involved in the widespread use of PMCs, and in particular questions whether they can fit within customary ways of understanding the ethical prosecution of warfare.
