Since its emergence as a concept in the late 1990s, SSR has represented a paradigm shift in security assistance, from the realist, regime-centric, train-and-equip approach of the Cold War to a new liberal, holistic and people-centred model. The rapid rise of this model, however, belied its rather meagre impact on the ground. This book critically examines the concept and its record of achievement over the past two decades, putting it into the broader context of peace-building and state-building theory and practice. It focuses attention on the most common, celebrated and complex setting for SSR, conflict-affected environments, and comparatively examines the application and impacts of donor-supported SSR programing in a series of conflict-affected countries over the past two decades, including Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, the Democratic Republic of Congo, East Timor and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The broader aim of the book is to better understand how the contemporary SSR model has coalesced over the past two decades and become mainstreamed in international development and security policy and practice. This provides a solid foundation to investigate the reasons for the poor performance of the model and to assess its prospects for the future. This book will be of much interest to students of international security, peacebuilding, statebuilding, development studies and IR in general. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in conflict, security and technology. 606 $aSecurity sector 606 $aInternal security 606 $aNational security 606 $aSecurity sector$zAfghanistan 606 $aInternal security$zAfghanistan 606 $aNational security$zAfghanistan 615 0$aSecurity sector. 615 0$aInternal security. 615 0$aNational security. 615 0$aSecurity sector 615 0$aInternal security 615 0$aNational security 676 $a355/.0330581 676 $a355.0330581 700 $aSedra$b Mark.$0886635 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149371103321 996 $aSecurity sector reform in conflict-affected countries$91979885 997 $aUNINA
