Legosoldatens återkomst

from P3 Dystopia · host Sveriges Radio

Privata arméer har gjort comeback på världsscenen. Är vi på väg tillbaka till ett medeltida slagfält? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. I flera hundra år har krig varit en fråga för nationalstater och deras reguljära arméer. Men de senaste trettio åren har ett dramatiskt skifte skett. Fler och fler frontlinjer befolkas av soldater som inte krigar för sitt land, utan för pengar, eller naturresurser. Redan på Medeltiden varnade Niccolò Machiavelli för legosoldatens svekfulla och förrädiska natur. Hade han rätt? P3 Dystopia reder ut varför legosoldater och skuggarméer som den ryska Wagnergruppen har blivit populära igen, varför dagens krigföring i allt högre grad sker i hemlighet, och vad som kan hända om vi släpper idén om våldsmonopolet för alltid.
