受冲突影响国家的外部主导安全部门改革(SSR)可能需要一系列不同的及时干预措施,以重组国家的整个安全架构。虽然这些努力的目的是政治性的,但其本质通常是技术性的、操作性的,并且针对军事、警察、司法或情报行为者或民事政策部门的相关团体。由于其紧迫性,研究似乎很少或根本没有空间来影响这些活动的实施。尽管如此,近年来,关于 SSR 的学术研究蓬勃发展,案例研究、“经验教训”和对政策制定者的建议现在丰富了这一新兴文献。本文分析了外部主导的安全部门改革干预的早期案例之一,即英国对受冲突影响的塞拉利昂的援助计划。它旨在了解与 SSR 相关主题的研究和知识是否以及如何影响英国 SSR 援助政策在该国的制定和实施。然后,以塞拉利昂案例研究为基础,探讨了一些一般性问题和主题,这些问题和主题体现了在受冲突影响的环境中安全部门改革政策研究的应用。
Externally-led security sector reform (SSR) in conflict-affected countries may require an array of different and timely interventions to restructure the whole security architecture of a state. Whilst the intent of these efforts is political, their nature is usually technical, operational and targeted at military, police, justice or intelligence actors, or relevant groups in the civilian policy sectors. Because of their urgency, there is seemingly little or no room for research to influence the implementation of these activities. Nevertheless, academic studies on SSR have flourished in recent years, and case studies, ‘lessons learned’ and recommendations for policy-makers now enrich this burgeoning literature. This paper analyses one of the early cases of an externally-led SSR intervention, namely the United Kingdom (UK) assistance programme in conflict-affected Sierra Leone. It seeks to understand whether and how research and knowledge on topics relevant to SSR influenced the development and implementation of the UK's SSR assistance policy in this country. Building on the Sierra Leonean case study, it then examines some general issues and themes, which characterise the use of research in SSR policy in conflict-affected environments.
