ABSTRACT
In preceding chapters we have traced a journey to develop a set of robust and sustainable processes-a model-designed to enable poor communities to contribute to the accomplishment of effective and legitimate security governance.1 As we come to the end of this journey-a journey that we have examined through the lens of four ideals of good governance-we return to where we began, namely, to the period immediately after South Africa’s first democratic elections and to a small energetic, committed, and hopeful group of people drawn from a desperately poor suburb in the town of Worcester, who joined together with a small, and equally enthusiastic, group of professionals from the University of the Western Cape-our modelers.
