Document Summary
As a shift in public functions away from the government to private actors. Private actors (not necessarily for profit) but shifting to the broader private sphere (could be prisons or other things like police, victims (different than the public interests)) Argument gets the the deeper concern that is about substituting public actors to private actors (away from government and into the private spheres of activity) Ultimately he was tried because of the holes in his story but he was acquitted on the basis of self defence: legitimizes the use of force from a private sector. Private militaries have changed internationally and it again suggest that there is delegitimization of the state. Early 2000s: at least 1 and 10 combatants on the allied side was a private members not acting on state authority. They providing from base support, they used private armed forces to train foreign troops and conduct battle planning.
