IPI Releases Database of Researchers on International Private Security
IPI (formerly International Peace Academy) has been working with governments, international organizations and civil society to improve regulation of the international private military and security industry for over two years. Following more than six months of consultations, IPI has produced a database of more than 150 researchers working in this field. It contains details of researchers from around the world writing in many languages, their prior publications, areas of research focus, current work, and contact details.
The database will facilitate the effective regulation of international private security by improving coordination of research, commentary and civil society input into existing and new regulatory processes. Listing in the database is open to all independent researchers from academia and civil society organizations, anywhere in the world, writing in any language.
To search the database once you have opened it, press CTRL+F and enter the term you are looking for. The database can also be sorted according to the researchers’ last name, organisation, location, and keywords listing their main areas of research focus.
If you wish to comment on the database, have your own data added to the next version of it, or make amendments to the existing data, please send your comments to James Cockayne, Associate, at cockayne@ipinst.org.
This database was prepared with the assistance of Edward Bearnot.
