Private actors are increasingly taking on roles traditionally arrogated to the        state. Both in the industrialized North and the developing South, functions        essential to external and internal security and to the satisfaction of basic human        needs are routinely contracted out to non-state agents. In the area of privatization        of security functions, attention by academics and policy makers tends to focus on        the activities of private military and security companies, especially in thecontext        of armed conflicts, and their impact on human rights and post-conflict stability and        reconstruction. The first edited volume emerging from New York University School of        Law's Institute for International Justice project on private military and security        companies, From Mercenaries to Market: TheRise and Regulation of Private Military        Companies broadened this debate to situate the private military phenomenon in the        context of moves towards the regulation of activities through market and non-market        mechanisms.Where that first volume looked at the emerging market for use of force,        this second volume looks at the transformations in the nature of state authority.          Drawing on insights from work on privatization, regulation, and accountability in        the emerging field of global administrative law, the book examines private military        and security companies through the wider lens of private actors performing public        functions. In the past two decades, the responsibilities delegated to such actors -        especiallybut not only in the United States - have grown exponentially. The central        question of this volume is whether there should be any limits on government capacity        to outsource traditionally "e;public"e; functions. Can and should a government put out        to private tender the fulfilment of military, intelligence,and prison services? Can        and should it transfer control of utilities essential to life, such as the supply of        water? This discussion incorporates numerous perspectives on regulatory and        governance issues in the private provision of public functions, but focuses        primarily on private actors offering services that impact the fundamental rights of        the affected population.
