This book explains how security is organized from the local to the
national level in post-war Sierra Leone, and how external actors
attempted to shape the field through security sector reform.
Security sector reform became an important and deeply political
instrument to establish peace in Sierra Leone as war drew to an end
in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Through historical and
ethnographic perspectives, the book explores how practices of
security sector reform have both shaped and been shaped by
practices and discourses of security provision from the national to
the local level in post-war Sierra Leone. It critiques how the
notion of hybridity has been applied in peace and security studies
and cultural studies, and thereby provides an innovative
perspective on IR, and the study of interventions. The book is the
first to take the debate on security in Sierra Leone beyond a focus
on conflict and peacebuilding, to explore everyday policing and
order-making in rural areas of the country. Based on fieldwork
between 2005 and 2018, it includes 200+ interviews with key players
in Sierra Leone from the National Security Coordinator and
Inspector-General of Police in Freetown to traditional leaders and
miners in Peyima, a small town on the border with Guinea. This book
will be of much interest to students of critical security,
anthropology, African politics and IR in general.
