The private military industry and neoliberal imperialism: Mapping the terrain
Despite the international reach, and increasing global importance, of the free market provision of military and security servicesâwhich we label the Private Security Industry (PSI)âmanagement and organization studies has yet to pay significant attention to this industry. Taking up Greyâs (2009) call for scholarship at the boundaries between security studies and organization studies and building on Banerjeeâs (2008) treatment of the PSI as a key element in necrocapitalism, in this article we aim to trace the long history of the PSI and argue that it has re-emerged over the last two decades against, and as a result of, a very specific politico-economic backdrop. We then suggest that the PSI operates as a mechanism for neoliberal imperialism; demonstrate its substitution for and supplementing of the state; and count some of the costs of this privatization of war. Finally, we take seriously Hughesâs (2007) thesis of the growth of a new security-industrial complex, and of the intersecting elites who benefit from this phenomenon
