Description
This paper focuses on the new form of Security Sector Reform (SSR), otherwise known as “Second Generation” SSR. SSR denotes the (often international-led) enterprise to reform security-related systems (e.g. police, military, judiciary) in fragile and/or post-conflict states. Since the late-1990s, SSR has firmly established its status as an indispensable tool to achieve peace and stability in fragile/post-conflict states. In practice, however, we rarely see “successful” cases of SSR. Six cases, i.e. Timor Leste, Sierra Leone, Bosnia Herzegovina, Georgia, Afghanistan and Iraq are examined to try to answer why. Comparatively analyzing them, this essay criticizes the orthodox (or the first generation) SSR and its emphasis on liberal values. In so doing, this study argues that the second-generation type, characterized by the hybridity of liberalism and local ownership, will be a more realistic, if not ideal, option for statebuilding.
