El objetivo es comparar las figuras del mercenarismo y de las Compañías Militares y de Seguridad Privadas (CMSP), para de ahí contemplar la opción de una potencial tipificación jurídica para estas últimas. Para este fin, se recurre a una metodología en un doble sentido. Por un lado, se realiza una representación histórica del mercenarismo, en la que se contrastan las visiones sobre lo que esta figura simboliza y de cómo desde la literatura académica esas representaciones contradictorias también permean el debate sobre las CMSP. Por el otro lado, se propone un análisis de contenido de los instrumentos convencionales, jurisprudenciales y doctrinales del derecho internacional, para entender las dinámicas jurídicas y políticas que afectan en mayor medida el intento de regulación de las CMSP. La conclusión a la que se llegará apunta a que la importancia de adelantar un debate teórico-conceptual sobre el mercenarismo y las CMSP resulta estéril en la medida en que ninguna de las dos figuras cuenta con un sistema de regulación adecuado.
