The chapter illustrates how, as part of the growing state building agenda introduced in Chap. 3, SSR has recently become the main internationally-led policy prescription to reform the security architectures of countries emerging from conflict. It shows how the network of SSR policy and research actors developed, expanded, and consolidated over the last years. The chapter further conceptualises the theoretical ideas presented in Chap. 2 within the international context of this study, and presents a visual representation of a hypothetical policy network of SSR policy-makers, street-level bureaucrats, and researchers – an ideal model that will be indirectly compared to the policy network of policy actors and researchers working on British-led SSR in Sierra Leone. |
