Summary/Abstract

Private companies play an increasingly important role in security sector reform (SSR). Bilateral donors and multilateral organisations are making use of the services of contractors to conceptualise and implement reforms to institutions that provide public security. The rapid increase in the outsourcing of SSR and the belief that the private sector's role in SSR will continue to expand in the future calls for a dispassionate analysis and debate on the role of the contractors and the benefits and risks outsourcing entails. This article investigates the role of one particular subset of contractors involved in SSR - management consultants - taking as a case study the work of Atos Consulting, subcontracted by the UK Department for International Development, in reforming the Jamaican police.

Huge amounts of resources, human as well as financial, are required. The author declares that Japan must engage in space exploration now and provides three reasons and three responsibilities that Japan should take on in participating in international space projects.
