CORPORATE SOLDIERS AND
INTERNATIONAL SECURITY
This book is the fi rst to explore comprehensively the rise of UK private military
companies on the international stage. After illustrating early examples of private
force, such as mercenary companies, which fi lled the ranks of European armies
right up to the 1850s, Christopher Kinsey traces the development of UK private
military companies (PMCs) from the mercenary organisations that operated in
Africa in the 1960s and early 1970s, through to the start of the rise of legally
established private military companies in the mid-1970s and early 1980s, to today’s
private military companies which are now important contributors to international
security and post-confl ict reconstruction.
This volume fi rst points to why and how the change from the mercenary
organisations of the 1960s and 1970s came about. In particular it examines in
some detail the Sandline affair, a crucial turning point in the industry’s history.
It then analyses how PMCs have been able to impact upon international security.
Finally, the book examines the type of problems, as well as advantages, that can
arise for organisations that decide to turn to private military companies for their
security requirements.
This book will be of much interest to students of security, military studies and
international relations in general.
Christopher Kinsey is a lecturer in the Defence Studies Department, King’s
College London, based at the Joint Services Command and Staff College. His
research examines the impact of private security and international politics. He
has published articles on the regulation and control of PSCs and more recently on
their organisational stucture.
