Abstract:
Although long hidden from the public gaze of international humanitarian law, military entrepreneurialism has played a key role in the global organization of legitimate violence. By examining historical changes in the role and legal treatment of military entrepreneurs, the author sheds light on the contemporary ""resurfacing'' of privately organized violence in the form of private military companies, and its broader implications for international humanitarian law.
