To nye publikationer fra Dansk Institut for Internationale Studier (DIIS) ser nærmere på konsekvenserne ved at lade private soldater overtage stadigt flere opgaver fra det internationale samfunds styrker.

Sådan hedder det indledningsvis i papirerne fra forskerne på Dansk Institut for Internationale Studier (DIIS) med titlerne:
“Private Military Companies in Counter-insurgency Strategy” by Christa Moesgaard & Stine Heiselberg, DIIS Policy Brief
“Weak International Response to the Use of Private Military Security Companies” by Christa Moesgaard, DIIS Policy Brief
