GARCIA-RAMIREZ, Juan David. From Ancienat Mercenaries to Corporate Warriors: a Historical Approach. Rev. Fac. Derecho Cienc. Polit. - Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2017, vol.47, n.126, pp.39-53. ISSN 0120-3886.  https://doi.org/10.18566/rfdcp.v47n126.a03.

This paper aims at explaining the role that the mercenaries have in contemporary international conflicts, as performers with a great capacity to determine their dynamics and outcomes. It also aims at providing an objective view of the privatization of the use of the force by means of an analysis of the nature, context and organizational structure of the mercenary armies of the Classic Greece and an approximation to the new corporative ways of the mercenarism, for example, the current private military companies, to conclude that this kind of actors constitute a characteristic element of the international dispute.
