Resumo
O argumento central da pesquisa fundamenta-se na capacidade das Companhias de Segurança Privadas (CSP) influenciarem cenários de conflito contemporâneos, no caso específico para a Guerra do Afeganistão, entre os anos de 2001 e 2011, e da Líbia (2011-2012). Sugerimos que as CSP possuem uma disposição ainda pouco estudada para conformar pontos nevrálgicos relacionados com a segurança internacional, dentre eles o caso analisado, nos teatros de operações do Oriente Médio e do norte da África. O objetivo da pesquisa é demonstrar qual o impacto dessas Companhias, ressaltando como a instrumentalização dos discursos feitas por essas empresas encontram eco explicativo parcial no princípio de Securitização, abordado pela chamada Escola de Copenhague. Pela própria natureza do campo de estudo, nos pautamos principalmente em fontes primárias, como entrevistas realizadas nos dois países entre 2012 e 2015. Empregamos ainda documentos oficiais, tanto do governo norte-americano quanto de especialistas das CSP, além da bibliografia especializada. Sugerimos ainda que tais Companhias, combinando características locais e internacionais, acabam por resiginficar capitais e possibilidades, formando atores distintos, chamados aqui de Companhias Antropofágicas de Segurança (CAS). As CAS possuem uma capacidade ainda não analisada na literatura tradicional para definir, por exemplo, distribuição de tropas, escolha do inimigo e emprego de novos armamentos, mobilizando justamente o discurso de emergência e a necessidade de ferramentas não estabelecidas no marco legal.
The central argument of the research is that Private Security Companies (PSCs) are able to chaperon contemporary conflict scenarios, in this case, the Afghan war, between 2001 and 2011, and Libya (2011-2012). We suggest that the CSP have a provision, not well researched, to impact hotspots related to international security, including the case analyzed in the theaters of operations in the Middle East and North Africa. The objective of the research is to demonstrate the impact these companies, highlighting how the instrumentalization of the speeches made by them are partial explained by the concept of securitization, covered by the so-called Copenhagen School. The research is based in primary sources, such as interviews in both countries between 2012 and 2015. We also used official documents, both the US government and experts of the CSP, as well as academic literature. We suggest that such companies, combining local and international features, promoted a resignification of capitals and possibilities, forming innovative actors, called here Security Anthropophagic Companies (CAS). CAS have a capacity not yet analyzed in traditional literature to define, for example, distribution of troops, choose the enemy and use of new weapons, just mobilizing emergency speech and the need for tools not established in the legal framework.
