Un extrait de la thèse:
Since the fall of the Berlin Wall and later of Communism, there has been a true explosion of the private security market. This tremendous growth is partly due to the withdrawal of economic and military aid by the superpowers from sensitive regions around the world. The different states which previously benefited from this aid now find themselves abandoned and faced with a critical security situation requiring them to use PMCs to support their armed forces. These contracts are generally financed by the extraction of natural resources, creating additional threats to the population.
