Abstract

This chapter offers a brief historical preview of the regulation of the contracted violence through history, demonstrating that it is not a new phenomenon. It covers US regulatory evolution and use of private violence both domestically and internationally. Then it presents an international normative framework, completing it with a network of recent national and international initiatives. Finally, it looks at how the USA currently regulates private security contractors, by addressing Congressional, Defense Department, and State Department structures and regulations.
