Yet the relationship between SSR and transitional justice, or “dealing with the past” (DwP) as it is also called, remains underexplored and is often marked by ignorance and resistance. While SSR and transitional justice processes can get into each other’s way, this paper argues that SSR and DwP are intrinsically linked and can complement each other. SSR can make for better transitional justice and vice versa. Transitional justice needs SSR to prevent a recurrence of abuses, an essential element of justice. SSR can learn from transitional justice not only that it is better to deal with rather than ignore an abusive past but also how to address an abusive legacy in the security sector. The validity of these assumptions is tested in two case studies: the police reform process in Bosnia and Herzegovina after 1995 and the SSR process in Nepal after 2006. 606 $aPolitics & government$2bicssc 606 $aWarfare & defence$2bicssc 610 $asecurity sector reform 610 $agood governance 610 $atransitional justice 610 $ahuman rights 610 $apost-conflict 610 $atransition 615 7$aPolitics & government 615 7$aWarfare & defence 700 $aMayer-Rieckh$b Alexander$4aut$0913822 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910289347003321 996 $aDealing with the Past in Security Sector Reform$92047467 997 $aUNINA
