This anthology explores the political nature of making order
through policing activities in densely populated spaces across
Africa, Asia and Latin America. Based on ethnographic research, the
chapters analyze this complex with respect to marginalized young
men in Haiti, community policing members and national politicians
in Swaziland as well as other individual and collective actors
engaged in policing and politics in Indonesia, Swaziland, Ghana,
South Africa, Mexico, Bolivia, Haiti and Sierra Leone. What these
contexts have in common is a plurality of order-making practices.
Not one institution monopolizes the means of violence or a de facto
sovereign position to do so. A number of interests are played out
simultaneously, entailing re-negotiations over the very definition
of what 'order' is. How and by whom a particular order is enforced
is contested, at times violently so, and is therefore inherently
political. In the existing literature on weak states, legal
pluralism and policing in the Global South it is seldom made
explicit that making order is a route to power and positions of
political decision-making. It is this gap in the literature that
this anthology fills, as it analyses the politics at stake in
processes of order-making.
Between 1991 and 2002, Sierra Leone was wracked by a devastating
civil war and the complete collapse of state institutions. Since
then, however, the UK's contribution to post-war reconstruction has
been widely held up as an example of successful stabilisation and
state-building - particularly of the country's security and justice
institutions. Securing Sierra Leone, 1997-2013 examines how the
process of state-building through security-sector reform developed
in Sierra Leone, and the impact of this experience on international
conceptualisations of such reform as well as on international
interventions more broadly. The study is the most detailed of its
kind, based on a comprehensive analysis of UK engagement in Sierra
Leone between 1997 and 2013, including a host of first-hand
accounts from key local and international actors. This monograph
shows why the UK intervention in Sierra Leone has been a relative
success. However, it also questions the sustainability of
state-building efforts that are driven by concepts of the liberal
state. In Sierra Leone, critical challenges remain, not least in
the combination of a particular vision of what a state should look
like and the unrealistic expectations of progress on the part of
the international community.

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.
RS as in Rennsport: Audi’s most evocative abbreviation represents
special cars, fantastic drivetrain solutions and abundant traction.
Born of a partnership with Porsche, these two letters evolved into
a constant in most Audi model lines. Motoring journalist Constantin
Bergander and photographer Peter Besser provide an in-depth look
into a fascinating series of automobiles, full of power and
elegance. This meticulously researched book tells the captivating
story of all RS models, introduced first in 1994, from the
disruptive Audi Avant RS2, all the way to the fully electric Audi
RS e-tron GT. It explains the powerplants, the various all-wheel
drivetrains, and the strategies behind the cars.
This collection of in-depth case studies presents a tableau of
informal and formal varieties of sociality encountered in Northwest
Germany in the latter half of the 18th century. One focal point is
the various forms of enlightened society to be found there -
reading clubs and secrets societies, fraternities, musical
societies and friendly associations. But much coverage is also
given to forms of sociality in different classes of society and the
way in which they interacted. The innovative feature of this
approach is its focus on the coexistence of different forms of
sociality in different strata of society.
Sierra Leone is often cited as a highly influential example of
security sector reform (SSR) in practice. In the ten years (1997 -
2007) covered in this volume, Sierra Leone transitioned from open
conflict to a process of consolidation and development that
culminated in the successful general elections of 2007. SSR is
understood as being at the heart of this change. Security Sector
Reform in Sierra Leone 1997 - 2007: Views from the Frontline seeks
to shed new light on this process by giving a voice to stakeholders
that were intimately involved in SSR efforts within Sierra Leone.
Contributions from both UK and Sierra Leonean personnel provide
authentic perspectives that enable us to draw important lessons
from a dynamic and evolving relationship between national actors
and the wider international community.
