THE ROLE OF PRIVATE SECURITY AGENCY IN THE 21ST CENTURY

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-confl ict 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 fulfi l 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 fi eld 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 confl icts, accompanying demographic disasters and so on, in ever more visible and rugged practice. In all that, private security and a large number of companies that provide security services infringe upon the human rights, go beyond the use of force and technical means. Unlicensed activities enable them to act accordingly in society with no control at the expense of corporate interests in omnipresent corruption as a sort of power between capital, politics and money in the region and a good part of Europe.
