Normative power under contract? : commerical support to European crisis managment operations / Francesco Giumelli and Eugenio Cusumano. - 2014

Reviews the use of commercial companies by the EU under the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). Finds that the main factor influencing EU use of contractors is the reluctance of member states to "second and mobilize the personnel and resources" required for crisis management, also concludes that reliance on contractors is likely to increase as member states show few signs of changing their practices.
