About the product
Military and police forces play a crucial role in the long-term success of political, economic and cultural rebuilding efforts in post-conflict societies. Yet, while charged with the long-term task of providing a security environment conducive to rebuilding war-torn societies, they must be placed under democratic control in order to become an asset, not a liability, in the long-term peace-building process. External actors from other nations, regional organizations and the United Nations can be of assistance in this process. This book offers analyses of an international group of academics and practitioners with direct experiences with security sector reform programmes in different parts of the world.
