"This volume contributes significantly to one of the more vexing aspects of the twenty-first-century global security landscape--that of the relationships between nonstate actors and nation-states. It challenges the received wisdoms of state-centric policy debate on 'proxies' by recognizing the autonomy of a wide range of commercial and political actors, and the diverse constraints and opportunities of their environments. Michael Innes and his colleagues have achieved a nuanced and productive analysis that provides important insights into the dynamic relationships of the global economy of violence."--Tim Stevens, associate, Centre for Science and Security Studies, King's College London
