The study, unlike the studies on the democratic control of the army, aimed at describing the security sector components that arise as a result of security privatization, with the general lines of the control mechanisms for the provision of democratic control of the services they provide by private security companies. Parallel to the change and transformation between the modern state and security, it is clear that the nature of democratic control on public security organizations and based on the relations of civil authority and accountability has also changed. In this regard, the study has shown that in addition to the extension of the democratic control essence to include the parties outside the state, the control subject has also varied in such a way as to include the military and private security companies. This situation, which can be described as the privatization of control, demonstrates the need to be addressed by the parties outside the state apparatus and non-public security organizations as well as by the non-public security providers while examining the democratic control. That is why the concept includes public-private partnership. But it is often understood that the concept of democratic control that develops through the army cannot be directly applied to private security companies that are outside the state equipment and are subject to market rules.
