Security Governance in Post-Conflict Peacebuilding: Second edition (Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF))

Post-conflict peacebuilding has become a primary concern of international politics. Indeed, the UN reform agenda - including the creation of a Peacebuilding Commission - makes clear that more must be done to prevent societies from falling back into violent struggle. Building up domestic capacity to provide security in an accountable manner plays a crucial role in this context. Applying a security governance perspective, this volume examines a number of key issues that must be addressed by both post-conflict societies and the international community as they confront the task of rebuilding after armed conflict - including security sector reform (SSR), disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR), rule of law and transitional justice.
