This book examines international efforts to provide security in
post-conflict sites and explains why internal security should be
given precedence in statebuilding endeavours. The work begins by
exploring the evolution of security sectors in mature liberal
democratic states, before examining the attempts of such states to
accelerate that evolutionary process in post-conflict sites through
statebuilding and security sector reform. These discussions suggest
interestingly different answers to the question of who should
provide for internal security in international operations. When
considering mature states, there are both practical and normative
reasons as to why internal security has become the sole domain of
police, with military forces being excluded from internal affairs.
In peace and stability operations, on the other hand, difficulties
with utilising police personnel have led to military forces being
required to play internal security roles. This tension is
investigated further through detailed case studies of three recent
missions: Afghanistan, Timor-Leste and Solomon Islands. These case
studies both reinforce and augment the practical and normative
reasons for ensuring that internal security remains the domain of
police. This then impacts upon peace and stability operations in
two important ways. If we are to provide enduring security in
post-conflict sites, we should both (i) prioritise internal
security agencies in security sector reform efforts, and (ii)
prioritise ways of enabling police to play internal security roles
in the contributing mission. This book will be of much interest to
students of statebuilding, peace and conflict studies, military
studies, police studies, historical sociology, security studies and
IR in general.
