The mechanism of disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration
(DDR) is widely acknowledged to be an essential component of
successful peacekeeping, peace-building, postconflict management,
and state-building. Security sector reform (SSR) has emerged as a
promising though poorly understood tool for consolidating stability
and establishing sovereignty after conflict. While DDR enables a
state to recover the monopoly (or at least the preponderance) of
force, SSR provides the opportunity for the state to establish the
legitimacy of that monopoly.The essays in this book reflect the
diversity of experience in DDR and SSR in various contexts. Despite
the considerable experience acquired by the international
community, the critical interrelationship between DDR and SSR and
the ability to use these mechanisms with consistent success remain
less than optimally developed. DDR and SSR are essential tools of
modern statecraft, but their successful use is contingent upon our
understanding of both the affinities and the tensions between them.
These essays aim to excite further thought on how these two
processes-DDR and SSR-can be implemented effectively and
complimentarily to better accomplish the shared goals of viable
states and enduring peace.
