Adapting Security Sector Reform to Ground-Level Realities
The security sector reform (SSR) model has entered a period of uncertainty and change. Despite being mainstreamed in international development and security policy, SSR has had a meagre record of achievement. SSR analysts, practitioners and policymakers are increasingly speaking of the need to move to a second-generation SSR model. There is a growing belief that SSR in its current form is too utopian, technocratic, state-centric, and donor-driven …
The hollowing-out of the liberal peace project in Afghanistan
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 proces…
Rethinking liberal peacebuilding, statebuilding and transition in Afghanistan
Eyal Weizman (Citation2011), for example, writes about 'humanitarian violence', the result of what he calls humanitarianism as the 'practice of lesser evils', a philosophy that links the interventions of Medicins Sans Frontieres in humanitarian crises and Israel's projection of power in Gaza. Humanitarian action and military interventions are both 'crucial means by which the economy of violence is calculated and managed' (4). Both are based upon …
Shedding light on the complexities of the Afghan war
Afghanistan and the folly of apolitical demilitarisation
Demilitarisation is widely viewed as a key to the success of stabilisation and peace-building operations in post-conflict environments. Although a highly politically sensitive process that, in effect, seeks to re-order power relations, demilitarisation efforts tend to be treated by international actors as an apolitical, technical exercise. The disconnect between the heightened political stakes of demilitarisation and the marginal investment of po…
Who owns the peace? Aid, reconstruction, and peacebuilding in Afghanistan
It is unclear how international donors' stated commitment to ownership and partnership 'translates' in fragile state or 'post-conflict' settings. The very notion of ownership is violently contested in Afghanistan and donors have to negotiate with, and choose between, multiple state and non-state interlocutors. The developmentalist principles outlined in the 2005 Paris Declaration may carry little meaning in such contexts and their application can…
Security Sector Reform in Afghanistan and Iraq
Security sector reform (SSR) has come to be a cornerstone of the state-building project in postconflict contexts, providing an enabling environment for peacebuilding and development. However, an examination of the Afghan and Iraqi cases illustrates that the SSR model applied there is ill-equipped to confront the challenges of post-conflict environments. The failure to actualise the holistic, people-centred aims envisaged in both cases highlights …
Bribes or Bargains? Peace Conditionalities and ‘Post-Conflict’ Reconstruction in Afghanistan
This article focuses on the role of international aid donors in Afghanistan since the signing of the Bonn Agreement in 2001. Specifically, it explores the scope and utility of peace conditionalities as an instrument for peace consolidation in the context of a fragile war-to-peace transition. Geo-strategic and institutional concerns have generally led to an unconditional approach to assistance by international actors. It is argued that large inflo…
Security sector reform in Afghanistan
Security sector reform has come to be viewed as the foundation for the state-building project in Afghanistan. Although the process has made important strides since its launch in the spring of 2002, the prevailing conditions in the country, notably high levels of insecurity and limited institutional and human capacity, have not been conducive to reform. Attempts to adjust the SSR agenda to reflect these conditions and meet immediate security chall…
