Beskrivning

Security sector reform (SSR) is central to the democratic transitions currently unfolding across the globe, as a diverse range of countries grapple with how to transform militias, tribal forces, and dominant military, police, and intelligence agencies into democratically controlled and accountable security services. SSR will be a key element in shifts from authoritarian to democratic rule for the foreseeable future, since abuse of the security sector is a central technique of autocratic government. This edited collection advances solutions through a selection of case studies from around the world that cover a wide range of contexts.

Recensioner i media

This path-breaking volume provides the first in-depth examination of the role security sector reforms in democratizing constitutional transitions, drawing on a rich set of case studies spanning Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia. The volume offers critical lessons for those interested in post-authoritarian democratic transitions, challenging the conventional wisdom that security services must always be kept out of transitional processes and identifying key roles they might play to ensure stability and enable effective civilian oversight. Evidence drawn from cross-regional comparison allows the editors to develop empirically-grounded theoretical insights in a concluding chapter that makes an incisive and original contribution to the growing literature on democratic transitions.
