Privatising Peace [electronic resource] : A Corporate Adjunct to United Nations Peacekeeping and Humanitarian Operations /
Patterson, M.author.
The history of United Nations peacekeeping is largely one of failure. This book puts a case for augmenting ad hoc peacekeepers with competent contract labour; and within the constraints of a new legal regime, supporting future operations with well-trained contractors who might subdue by force those who inflict gross human rights abuses on others.
