| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines proposals for delegating internal security - policing - in peacekeeping missions to non-state institutions. It first outlines the putative benefits in doing so. It then examines the difficulties in implementing such a strategy - problems of choosing, monitoring and regulating non-state providers. The article argues that while adopting this strategy may, or may not, provide short-term benefits in terms of public safety, it represents an expansion of peacekeeping responsibilities that has unpredictable political consequences.
