| Summary/Abstract |
Since its emergence in the late 1990s, the security sector reform model has come to be accepted as an indispensable element of democratic transitions and state-building projects. Europe has been an incubator for the concept, which is rooted in the notion of human security. While the model's normative framework has reached an advanced stage of development, it has produced few clear successes, revealing a 'conceptual-contextual divide'. Placed under new pressure due to a shift in security thinking following 11 September 2001, the model faces an identity crisis. The Afghanistan process, above all, has demonstrated the need for new debate in Europe and elsewhere on the direction and structure of the model.

| Summary/Abstract |
Security sector reform (SSR) has been described as a linch-pin of the liberal state-building and peace-building processes in Afghanistan. The process was originally framed in accordance with the core liberal principles of the SSR model, prioritizing good governance, respect for human rights, sustainability, and democratic civilian control. However, as time passed and security and political conditions began to deteriorate on the ground, the process would gradually revert to a more conventional train-and-equip form, with its core liberal principles stripped away. The slide toward expediency experienced by the SSR process in Afghanistan demonstrates the deeply flawed manner in which the liberal peace project was advanced in Afghanistan. SSR donors became increasingly ambivalent about the human-security objectives of SSR, which were superseded by exigencies of the counterinsurgency, regional security, and domestic pressure for withdrawal. The Afghan experience has raised further doubt about the viability of the orthodox SSR model in conflict-affected countries, already the subject of significant critical debate.

| Summary/Abstract |
This special issue coincides with a period of large-scale international troop withdrawals from Afghanistan, with a scheduled transition to 'Afghan ownership' in 2014. This latest 'transition' in Afghanistan's protracted conflict represents an interesting juncture at which to analyse and assess the record of statebuilding efforts in the country and their wider implications. In many respects, the changing narratives around intervention and statebuilding in Afghanistan resonate with and reflect wider shifts in thinking and policies related to security, peacebuilding, and statebuilding.
