Privata militära företag, på engelska kallade Private Military Companies (PMC), utgör i dagens värld en egen slags aktör inom säkerhetspolitik. I denna uppsats illustrerar vi hur man kan förstå privata militära företags legitimitet med utgångspunkt i tre olika teoretiska perpesktiv om politisk legitimitet. För att åstadkomma detta har vi konstruerat en egen definition av vad som karaktäriserar en
