Beschreibung
Covering Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Nepal, Sri
Lanka and Timor-Leste, these case studies explore the
relevance of security sector governance and reform for
political transition, democratisation and peace-building in
Asia. Examining the prospects for security sector governance
within each case through the lens of political
reconciliation, government legitimacy, civil-military
relations and democratic accountability, the authors study
issues of political will, local/national ownership and the
influence of external actors in domestic reform contexts.
