Selected
war profiteering society
I think "民党化” is a typo of ”民営化” (privatized).
I would translate「民営化された戦争請負社会」> "privatized war profiteering society", since 請負 also means "contracting business".
「戦争請負」is a relatively new term in Japan, becoming familiar since the capture of Japanese mercenary in Iraq, so I think relatively new term of "war-profiteering" is a good match.

sorry for the awkward phrase with two 'indicate' - the second one should read 'denotes'
