Abstract
The purpose of this article is to assess the phenomenon of the privatisation of armed conflict from the perspective of the personal theory of New Global Law developed by Rafael Domingo. Since the 1990s there has appeared a tendency towards the decentralisation and delegation of the authority of the State to use force, both internally and internationally. At the turn of the twentieth century the traditional form of mercenary became outdated and inconvenient because of the existing prohibitions in international law. Private military companies introduced corporate standards into the market for military services. The article suggests that one of the main tasks of contemporary constitutional theory is the generalisation and reformulation of the concept of the constitution of the nation state in view of the need to work out a universal model of a world constitution. The author is interested in answers to questions such as: How does the globalisation of the law take place?, and also What is globalisation for? For this purpose the article refers to the ideas of Rafael Dominigo.Funding
