Security Sector Reconstruction and Reform in Peace Support OperationsAuthor(s): Michael Brzoska, Law David\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138981560, 978-1138981560\nSynopsis\nThis volume provides a framework for analyzing security sector reform under international tutelage.\n\nFollowing violent conflict and military interventions, international organizations or coalitions of countries increasingly engage in post-conflict reconstruction. Part of the international post-conflict agenda is the reconstruction or reform of the security sector (SSR). In post-conflict situations, the security sector is often characterized by politicization, ethnicization, corruption of the security services, excessive military spending, lack of professionalism, poor oversight and inefficient allocation of resources. At the same time, there is great need for effective and efficient (re-)establishment of a legitimate monopoly of force. .
