Episode Details

Private military and security companies (PMSCs) are a $240 billion industry, and their primary clients are states. This episode explores why these groups are structurally invested in perpetuating conflicts, not just fighting in them. We examine the regulatory black hole that makes them useful to governments and impossible to control, from the Wagner Group's mining operations in the Central African Republic to the legal void that protects contractors from accountability.
