Privatizing Maritime Security in Southeast Asia: Drivers and Consequences

在当代东南亚，关键的海上安全职责已外包给私营军事和安保公司。这些公司在很大程度上没有得到学者的研究，而且往往对公众不负责任。该项目将考虑：东南亚海上私营军事和安保公司开展的工作类型；导致海上安保私有化的全球和地方结构和政治因素；以及对安全治理的影响。考虑这些问题将有助于更全面地了解东南亚国家的安全部门，并将使我们能够更准确地评估该区域的海上安全局势。

In contemporary Southeast Asia, key maritime security roles have been contracted out to private military and security companies. These companies are largely unstudied by scholars and often unaccountable to the public. This project will consider: the kind of work conducted by private military and security companies in maritime Southeast Asia; the global and local structural and political factors, which lead to the privatisation of maritime security; and, the implications for security governance. Considering these issues will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the security sectors of Southeast Asian countries and will allow a more precise assessment of the maritime security situation in this region.
