The role of private military company in conflict resolution : MPRI role in post-conflict reconstruction in Bosnia-Herzegovina
The war in Bosnia-Herzegovina is one of the greatest tragedy of modem
time that happened at the very edge of Cold War. The war displaced thousands of
people, caused widespread of violence across the Balkan and where heinous
crimes against humanity were used as weapon of war. This is the new kind of war
that Mary Kaldor describes in her book 'New and Old Wars: Organize Violence in
a Global Era' because what happened in Bosnia-Herzegovina never happened in
the previous wars. The involvement of a Private Military Company (PMC) in
another capacity beside combat is unheard of, but in Bosnia-Herzegovina, a
United States based private military company, Military Professional Resources
Incorporated (MPRI) were involved in training and advising Bosnia-Herzegovina
armed forces after the signing of Dayton Peace Accords.
This research is focus on the role of MPRI as a private military company
in Bosnia-Herzegovina peacebuilding through post-conflict reconstruction efforts.
Using the framework of English School, I will describe what is MPRI role, as
non-state actor, during Bosnia-Herzegovina peacebuilding process, particularly
during Post-Conflict Reconstruction phase.
In conclusion, I argued that even though MPRI as Private Military
Company do not have any obligation towards people, moral or otherwise, in
certain situation they can be a beneficial actor. This research find that while MPRI
celiainly acquiring profit from the contracts that awarded to them, their
professionalism and "ethnicity neutral" programs helped not only to
proffesionalize Bosnia-Herzegovina forces, it also facilitated cooperation within
the army.
