sigurnosnih i/ili vojnih usluga uključujući sudjelovanje u sukobima, obučavanje te druge
potporne funkcije. Stoga je angažiranje privatnih vojnih kompanija danas rastući trend. Države i
međunarodne organizacije u predstavljaju glavne korisnike usluga privatnih vojnih kompanija te
istima daju kontrolu pri oblikovanju njihove sigurnosti. Ne čudi, dakle, kako su najveće privatne
vojne kompanije razvile kvalitetnije i učinkovitije načine rješavanja problema zajedno s
adekvatnom opremom i osobljem, u odnosu na državne sigurnosne agencije i regularne oružane
snage. Izvanredni rast privatnog sigurnosnog sektora pokrenuo je promjenu samog poimanja
sigurnosti. kao i kako se ta sigurnost postiže putem rada privatnih vojnih kompanija.
Koristeći se pragmatizmom kao teorijskom osnovom, autor je objasnio učinkovitost privatnih
vojnih kompanija kroz prizmu vremena, vještina i troška. Nadalje, kroz ta gledišta napravljena je
usporedba na primjeru snaga Ujedinjenih Nacija i privatne vojne kompanije Executive
Outcomes, točnije na primjeru sudjelovanja u sukobima u Sierra Leoneu 90.-ih godina prošlog
stoljeća. Navedena usporedba naglašava učinkovitost privatnih vojnih kompanija u odrađivanju
zadaća. Također, prikazan je i kratki povijesni pregled koji prikazuje nastanak privatnih vojnih
kompanije te njihovo trenutno stanje.
Obrađen je problem klasifikacije privatnih vojnih kompanija gdje je kroz presjek dvojice autora,
Singera(2008) i Kinseya(2006), objašnjena najčešća podjela privatnih vojnih kompanija. Autor
je predložio i vlastitu klasifikaciju u kojoj se dotiče aktualnog problema nastanka i dinamike
razvoja privatnih vojnih kompanija do današnjih dana.
Prikazani su pozitivni primjeri kroz rad Executive Outcomes-a u Sierra Leoneu i Angoli koji
jasno naglašavaju kako jedna privatna vojna kompanija može aktivno sudjelovati u obnovi
države potičući politički i ekonomski razvoj. Kao negativni primjeri, prikazana je dijametralna
suprotnost Executive Outcomes-u koju predstavlja Blackwater koji je svojim incidentima u
Iraku i Afganistanu bacio ljagu na privatne vojne kompanije kao i nekoliko drugih privatnih
vojnih kompanija koje se ističu negativnim primjerima djelovanja.

Privatne vojne kompanije, osim taktičke uloge na bojištu, posjeduju i mogućnost djelovanja
politički kroz moć širenja ciljeva i programa, moć lobiranja te moć upravljanja sigurnosti.
Svojim djelovanjem kroz prizmu moći, privatne vojne kompanije uspjele su kao akteri iz sjene
oblikovati scenu međunarodne sigurnosti kako njima odgovara, uz vidljive aktivnosti bliske
velikim silama, posebno njihovim sigurnosnim agencijama.
Abstract (english) Private military companies are legitimate corporations that provide a diverse range of security
and / or military services including conflict participation, training, and other support functions.
Therefore, hiring private military companies is a growing trend today. States and international
organizations represent the main users of the services of private military companies and give
them control in shaping their security. It is not surprising, therefore, how the largest private
military companies have developed better and more efficient ways of solving problems together
with adequate equipment and personnel, compared to state security agencies and regular armed
forces. The extraordinary growth of the private security sector has triggered a change in the very
notion of security as well as how that security is achieved through the work of private military
companies.
Using pragmatism as a theoretical basis, the author explained the effectiveness of private military
companies through the prism of time, skills and cost. Furthermore, through these views, a
comparison was made on the example of the United Nations forces and the private military
company Executive Outcomes, more precisely on the example of participation in the conflicts in
Sierra Leone in the 1990s. This comparison highlights the effectiveness of private military
companies in carrying out their tasks. Also, a brief historical overview showing the emergence of
private military companies and their current state is presented.
The problem of classification of private military companies is discussed, where the most
common division of private military companies is explained through a cross - section of two
authors, Singer (2008) and Kinsey (2006). The author also proposed his own classification in
which he touches on the current problem of the emergence and dynamics of development of
private military companies to date.
Examples of the work of the Executive Outcomes in Sierra Leone and Angola are presented,
which clearly emphasize how a private military company can actively participate in the
reconstruction of the state by encouraging political and economic development. As negative
examples, the diametrical contrast to the Executive Outcomes represented by Blackwater is
shown, which in its incidents in Iraq and Afghanistan has tarnished private military companies as
well as several other private military companies that stand out with negative examples of action.

In addition to their tactical role on the battlefield, private military companies also have the ability
to act politically through the power to spread goals and programs, the power to lobby, and the
power to manage security. By acting through the prism of power, private military companies
have succeeded as shadow actors in shaping the international security scene to suit them, with
visible activities close to the great powers, especially their security agencies.
