Different paths of reconstruction: military reform in post-war Sierra Leone and Liberia / Nilsson, Desiree; Kovacs, Mimmi Soderberg   Journal Article
Nilsson, Desiree Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Security Sector Reform (SSR) has developed into a key component of international peacebuilding agendas. However, there is a lack of sufficient knowledge of the advantages and drawbacks of different reform processes. This study offers a comparative analysis of two post-war states with diverse approaches to the reconstruction of the national armed forces after a civil war: Sierra Leone after the 1999 Lomé Peace Accord, where the competing warring parties were integrated into a single force; and Liberia following the 2003 Accra Peace Agreement, where the old army was disbanded and a new force was recruited and built from scratch. The findings show that each approach was associated with distinct benefits and risks during the implementation process. However, the outcomes are also similar in many important respects, and raise questions about the long-term sustainability of these reforms.
