Abstract

The United States has gone further than any country in the "privatization of security". Other countries may find the economic or financial logic in the use of contractors persuasive. The US experience with contracting out security, particularly in Iraq, was problematic, and can serve as a cautionary tale in order that other countries might learn how to avoid the pitfalls.Os Estados Unidos foram mais longe que qualquer outro país na "privatização da segurança". Outros países podem achar a lógica econômica ou financeira do uso de terceirizados persuasiva. A experiência dos EUA na terceirização da segurança, particularmente no Iraque, foi problemática, e pode servir como lição para que outros países aprendam a evitar as armadilhas.
