URUENA SANCHEZ, Mario Iván. The private military and security companies: The beginning of the end for States?. Civilizar [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.34, pp.51-60. ISSN 1657-8953.  https://doi.org/10.22518/usergioa/jour/ccsh/2018.1/a03.

The aim of this paper is to problematize the main effects of the Private Military and Security Companies proliferation as a result of a neoliberal economic order in the external and internal spheres of States sovereignty. In this regard, a documental review with empirical and theoretical sources was used in order to understand this problematic. The first conclusion is that there exist a lack in the liberal economic philosophy concerning the treatment of security as a public service. Second, it was found that the effects of security privatization are more evident in countries where humanitarian and institutional weakness persists.
