Private Security in Guatemala: Pathway to Its Proliferation

Otto Argueta

doi:10.5771/9783845245133

Summary

Die Verbreitung privater Sicherheitsdienste deutet auf eine Schwäche staatlicher Institutionen hin und fällt zusammen mit einem Anstieg der Kriminalität. Der Autor analysiert mit dem Ansatz des historischen Institutionalismus den Entwicklungspfad der Institutionen öffentlicher Sicherheit und politischer Prozesse, um die Entstehung privater Sicherheitsdienste zu erklären. Er bietet ein analytisches Modell, das auf empirischen historischen Quellen und Interviews basiert.
