THE ROLE OF PRIVATE SECURITY AGENCY IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: The global private security industry has rapidly increased over the past ten years. The dynamics of its development varies from state to state, i.e. it is different in developing countries, countries in transition, countries that are in post-conflict period and developing countries. For all of them there is one common denominator. The privatization of security happens in cases where the state, as traditional security provider, is unable or unwilling to fulfill this role. Moreover, taking into consideration cost-effectiveness, there is an increase in trend of hiring companies and personnel from external sources and privatization of state security functions. Public-private partnerships in the field of security are one of the most common examples of this phenomenon. Private security is an important area for the realization of human needs and corporate interests within ranges of and the rights guaranteed and conditions of national security. Geopolitical status and diplomatic competing caution us, in addition to clashes of values, low and high intensity conflicts, accompanying demographic disasters and so on, in ever more visible and rugged practice.
