Beschreibung
There has now been more than a decade of conceptual work, policy
development and operational activity in the field of security sector
reform (SSR). To what extent has its original aim to support and
facilitate development been met? The different contributions to this
volume address this question, offering a range of insights on the
theoretical and practical relevance of the security-development nexus in
SSR. They examine claims of how and whether SSR effectively contributes to
achieving both security and development objectives. In particular, the
analyses presented in this volume provide a salutary lesson that
development and security communities need to take each other’s concerns
into account when planning, implementing and evaluating their
activities.
The book offers academics, policy-makers and practitioners within the
development and security communities relevant lessons, suggestions and
practical advice for approaching SSR as an instrument that serves both
security and development objectives.
