This volume provides a framework for analyzing security sector
reform under international tutelage. Following violent conflict and
military interventions, international organizations or coalitions
of countries increasingly engage in post-conflict reconstruction.
Part of the international post-conflict agenda is the
'reconstruction' or 'reform' of the security sector (SSR). In
post-conflict situations, the security sector is often
characterized by politicization, ethnicization, corruption of the
security services, excessive military spending, lack of
professionalism, poor oversight and inefficient allocation of
resources. At the same time, there is great need for effective and
efficient (re-)establishment of a legitimate monopoly of force.
While initially this is in the purview of the external intervention
forces, they also face the task of the building up of effective,
efficient accountable and democratically legitimized security
forces as quickly as possible. The contributors analyze six
pertinent cases: Afghanistan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Haiti, Kosovo,
Sierra Leone and Timor Leste, focusing on issues such as priorities
for security and for security sector reform, sequencing of
reconstruction and reform, tensions between requirements of
security and security governance and the interaction of domestic
and external actors in security sector reform. This book was
previously published as a special issue of International
Peacekeeping.
