      abstract = {"Recent years have seen a growing role for private  military contractors in national and international  security. To understand the reasons for this, Elke Krahmann  examines changing models of the state, the citizen, and the  soldier in the UK, the US, and Germany. She focuses on both  the national differences with regard to the outsourcing of  military services to private companies and their specific  consequences for the democratic control over the legitimate  use of armed force. Tracing developments and debates from  the late eighteenth century to the present, she explains  the transition from the centralized warfare state of the  Cold War era to the privatized and fragmented security  governance, and the different national attitudes to the  privatization of force. Details three country case studies,  providing evidence for the key issues raised within the  text. Each chapter includes a summary table to aid  comparison between case studies and allow for easy  reference. Provides proposals for the reform of  civil-military relations"--Provided by publisher.},
