This paper seeks to step back from the moral arguments surrounding private military intervention in civil conflicts, arguing that the view that `military companies'' are merely `modern-day mercenaries'' obscures the strategic implications of their activities for current conflict-resolution thinking.
There is an urgent need to recast the debate on military companies (MCs). Shearer suggests the influence and activities of modern-day mercenary outfits are set to increase as Western military retrenchment continues. This paper the first detailed analysis of the private military sector argues that dismissing MCs as an unpleasant aberration is misleading and unhelpful.
