Conclusion -- $tNotes -- $tIndex 330 $aOver the past decade, states and international organizations have shifted a surprising range of foreign policy functions to private contractors. But who is accountable when the employees of foreign private firms do violence or create harm? This timely book describes the services that are now delivered by private contractors and the threat this trend poses to core public values of human rights, democratic accountability, and transparency. The author offers a series of concrete reforms that are necessary to expand traditional legal accountability, construct better mechanisms of public participation, and alter the organizational structure and institutional culture of contractor firms. The result is a pragmatic, nuanced, and comprehensive set of responses to the problem of foreign affairs privatization. 606 $aContracting out$zUnited States 606 $aDefense contracts$zUnited States 606 $aPrivate military companies$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aContracting out 615 0$aDefense contracts 615 0$aPrivate military companies 676 $a355.6/2120973 700 $aDickinson$b Laura A$g(Laura Anne)$01043445 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460414403321 996 $aOutsourcing war and peace$92468424 997 $aUNINA
