This book revisits post-Cold War Disarmament Disintegration and
Reintegration (DDR) programmes in the light of previous experiences
of disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration. In the history of
North America and Europe, in particular, such programmes had a
major impact on state-building, contributing to the development of
the welfare state, shaping political settlements and directing
government policy to maintain social peace. The authors in this
important book ask what is left of these state-building dimensions
in contemporary DDR programmes and whether the constraints imposed
by international organisations on DDR programmes have more negative
effects than positive ones. The role of political leadership in DDR
processes is highlighted: can bureaucratically-driven processes
deliver success? Only if political elites take full control and
manage DDR programmes can there be a lasting impact on
state-building. Even then, most political elites avoid deep changes
in their relationship with the veterans. Is there a chance of
reshaping international intervention in such a way as to favour the
development of a 'social contract' between political elites and
veterans? In taking a historical perspective, this book is unique
in the existing literature on DDR and will be essential reading for
policy makers, students and scholars of conflict studies, and those
working in NGOs, particularly donor agencies. This volume was
produced with the contribution of the Crisis States Research Centre
(LSE).
