Private Military and Security Companies - Agents of Diffusion? with Vanessa Gottwick
Despite the knowledge that civil wars diffuse, we know little about the actors triggering this process. One factor that has not been taken into consideration while analysing the processes of diffusion, are Private Military and Security Companies (PMSCs). Hence, this presentation will introduce a theory-based explanation of how PMSCs affect the process of internal conflicts spreading across borders.
