Resumo
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar as definições de
conflito, guerra e suas variações, assim como a inserção dos mercenários e forças
auxiliares durante a história humana, além da ascensão das recentes empresas
privadas de segurança nas guerras irregulares atuais. O mercenarismo é uma prática
antiquíssima, que remonta aos tempos mais remotos da humanidade, e assim como
os conflitos, essa prática foi se tornando ao longo dos séculos cada vez mais
complexa e abrangente. Entretanto, ainda que existam mercenários à moda antiga,
no contexto da segurança global atual as empresas de segurança privada
desempenham um papel preponderante, já que podem atuar em diferentes esferas
do conflito, como na esfera logística e de serviços de apoio, além de fornecer
aconselhamento estratégico, ainda que a utilização mais comum contratada seja o
combate propriamente dito. Finalmente será feita a análise da empresa militar privada
Blackwater / Xe / Academi desde a sua fundação pelo empresário Erik Prince,
perpassando pelos episódios que alavancaram a companhia e pelas vinculações
políticas e ideológicas de Prince a fim de compreender a ascensão meteórica dessa
empresa militar privada à condição de exército mercenário mais poderoso do mundo.
The present work aims to present the definitions of conflict, war and its variations, as well as the insertion of mercenaries and auxiliary forces during human history, in addition to the rise of recent private security companies in current irregular wars. Mercenarism is an ancient practice, dating back to the most remote times of humanity, and just like conflicts, this practice has become increasingly complex and comprehensive over the centuries. However, even though there are old-fashioned mercenaries, in the current global security context, private security companies play a leading role, as they can act in different spheres of conflict, such as logistics and support services, in addition to providing advice strategic, although the most common contracted use is combat itself. Finally, an analysis will be made of the private military company Blackwater / Xe / Academi since its founding by businessman Erik Prince, going through the episodes that leveraged the company and Prince's political and ideological ties in order to understand the meteoric rise of this private military company to the most powerful mercenary army in the world.
