ABSTRACT PMSC training has the potential to improve state capacity, reduce the combatants’ opportunity and willingness to fight, and prolong the duration of peace. However, the benefit of PMSC training-related intervention over other types of PMSC interventions depends on the level of conflict complexity. Analysis of novel data on PMSC interventions and peace episodes following major/minor civil wars (1990–2008) shows that in cases when PMSCs intervene, training makes a positive contribution to peace in wars with a limited number of rebel groups that do not resort to terrorism. Positive impact dissipates in conflicts with greater levels of rebel fragmentation and terrorist tactics.

私营军事和安保公司、冲突复杂性和和平持续时间：实证分析

摘要 PMSC 训练有可能提高国家能力，减少战斗人员的战斗机会和意愿，并延长和平的持续时间。然而，与其他类型的 PMSC 干预相比，PMSC 培训相关干预的好处取决于冲突的复杂程度。对主要/次要内战（1990-2008 年）后私营军事和安保公司干预和和平事件的新数据的分析表明，在私营军事和安保公司干预的情况下，培训对战争中的和平做出积极贡献，而少数叛乱团体不诉诸恐怖主义。积极影响在叛军分裂和恐怖主义战术程度更高的冲突中消散。
