12 Shaping the Security Governance Agenda in Post-Conflict Peacebuilding -- Alan Bryden
Post-conflict peacebuilding has become a primary concern of international politics. Indeed, the UN reform agenda â including the creation of a Peacebuilding Commission â 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.
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 â including security sector reform (SSR), disarmament demobilisation and reintegration (DDR), and the rule of law and transitional justice.
