ABSTRACT
This contribution concludes a study of how the international community has approached the security sector in six developing and transition countries where there has been – and in certain instances is still ongoing – severe conflict that has led to a significant international engagement. The six case studies – Haiti, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Timor-Leste and Afghanistan – are broadly representative of the some 50 post-conflict environments with which the international community has contended during the past decade and a half.
