Soukromé poskytování bezpečnosti: Anarchokapitalismus versus realita

This thesis analyses the possibility of privately provided defense by defense agencies or more precisely insurance companies in case of state absence. It introduces both defense as private good and right-libertarian theories which highlight anarchy as a sustainable social organization. These theories are further developed and compared with empirical examples of anarchistic societies and with theories of Robert Nozick, Tyler Cowen and Randall G. Holcombe which articulate poor resistance of anarchistic societies in the long run and inevitability of emergence of a state. The thesis is interwoven by discussions concerning incentives which lead economic agents to a particular behavior. In the second part of the thesis with a help of the theory of expressed preferences is determined willingness to pay for private insurance which provides services of defense in case of state absence. The sustainability of anarchistic social system is evaluated both from economic agent point of view and from strategic behavior of insurance company point of view at the end of this paper.
