Publisher's Synopsis

Since the 2003 U.S. led invasion of Iraq, the private military sector has seen the largest growth of profit in decades. As the country continues to be the focal point of private military clients, staff and related actors, the recurring issue of legitmacy must be addressed. This book analyses the public perception of private military companies and, of wider significance, how their use by states affects how the general public perceives state legitamacy of monopolising force.
