Abstract

The governance of U.S.A. homeland security since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 has been marked by the participation of the private security industry. Externally, the U.S.A. has been using the services of private military companies to support or protect its human and material resources in conflict zones. Internally, threats of attacks against United State’s infrastructure have raised the status of the private security industry to key partner in promoting homeland security. A growing literature has been addressing the use of private military companies in international conflicts, but the role of private security in promoting U.S.A homeland security has been largely neglected. The aim of this paper is to discuss some of the challenges and implications that private security imposes to the governance of U.S.A homeland security post-September 11.
