Abstract
The complexity of the contemporary world has dictated the
commercial security to supplement the supply of security in states. This is
for the varied security needs of the citizens to be fulfilled. Hence this study
embarked to illustrate the various roles of commercialized security in the
national security of selected countries: the USA, Britain, Australia, Israel,
South Africa, DRC, Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya. The study has shown that
the scope of commercialized security has expanded, thereby taking up
some roles that require and some that do not require to be carried out by
the state security agencies. This is partly due to its embracing of
technology and enormous numbers of personnel than the state security
agencies. But realistically, the state will not be losing its monopoly of
violence, but distributing it to the commercialized security through a
network of governance and partnership. This trend will continue and will be
of direct benefit to the state’s ability to influence its security. Based on the
findings, the study recommends effective regularization of commercial
security as well as collaboration between state security agents.
