Abstract
This chapter substantiated the shortcomings of state-corporate crime theory and Kauzlarich and Kramer’s model in explaining the transformation process in the DynCorp case and presented a revised analytical framework. The chapter analyzed whether the implementation of a subunit level of analysis and bidirectional approach in examining the top-down and bottom-up mechanisms and processes between DynCorp’s headquarters and their subunit in Bosnia increases the explanatory power for the transformation process in the DynCorp case. The analysis showed that different opportunity structures and social control mechanisms on the subunit level, separately from those at the headquarters, possess explanatory power for the transformation process of DynCorp employees. In addition, the analysis showed that the explanatory power of the transformation process does not solely rely on top-down mechanisms, but on bidirectional interrelationships between the headquarters in the home state and the subunit in the host state.
