At a time when the United States, Canada and their coalition partners are re-evaluating their roles and exit strategies in Afghanistan and other broken states, The Future of Security Sector Reform provides a crucial understanding of the complexities of reforming the security and justice architecture of the state. Written by leading international practitioners in the field, it offers valuable insight into what has worked, what has not and lessons that can be drawn in development, security and state building for the future.

"Experience has shown us that SSR is rarely to the forefront of determining policy in stabilisation or post conflict operations. Yet SSR is the means by which governments can be made to work and coalition forces can determine their exit strategy... This book will prove invaluable in promoting that process."
Major General Andrew Mackay, CBE
Former Commander of British forces in Afghanistan
"There is growing awareness that the theoretical assumptions behind security sector reform do not align with the realities on the ground. This has prompted a new look at where we stand and what is needed to move forward. A highly educational must-read for anyone who wants to understand this critical issue."
Robert M. Perito
Senior Program Officer, US Institute for Peace
"This is a timely and insightful volume, bringing together a rich assortment of expertise from the worlds of both policy and academia. The contributions touch on virtually every aspect of the SSR problematique - an important contribution to an important debate."
