It first defines DIB and reviews some best practices from DIB and security sector reform experiences. It also highlights how DIB activities serve U.S. official strategic guidance for Africa. The report then examines how DIB is currently planned and executed in Africa and describes the range of programs that are available to U.S. planners for that purpose. It also provides a structured approach to aid in the prioritization of such programs. The report then analyzes DIB efforts in two African nations--Liberia and Libya. Finally, it examines how other institutions and countries undertake DIB by taking a closer look at the DIB activities of DoD's regional centers, as well as the relatively extensive experience of two key U.S. allies--the United Kingdom and France--in this domain"--Publisher's description.Defense Institution Building in AfricaNational securityAfrica21st centurySecurity sectorAfrica21st centuryMilitary policyfast(OCoLC)fst01021386National securityfast(OCoLC)fst01033711Security sectorfast(OCoLC)fst01747046AfricaMilitary policy21st centuryAfricafastNational securitySecurity sectorMilitary policy.National security.Security sector.McNerney Michael J(Michael Joseph),1246196Johnson Stuart E.1944-Pézard StéphanieStebbins DavidMiles RenanahO'Mahony AngelaFeng ChaolingOliver TimRand Corporation,National Defense Research Institute (U.S.),resUnited States.Department of Defense.Office of the Secretary of Defense,spnBOOK9910220142003321Defense Institution Building in Africa2894724UNINA
