This paper examines how Private Military and Security Companies (PMSCs) have evolved from individual acts of mercenarism into highly professional and state legitimized corporate organizations. It also recognizes that these companies no longer produce exclusively armed provisions but also increasingly supply knowledge products to governments and commercial entities. The authors argue that the power to influence perceptions through the marketing of risk and intelligence are the defining characteristics of a new generation of PMSCs.
