Description
It is a notorious fact that the evolution of civil-military relations and the security sector reform in South-East Europe has to deal with post-totalitarian and post-conflict challenges. The book examines these issues in the context of the adaptation to combating terrorism and the need to be effective in this struggle, while continuing the democratic reforms in the individual countries. A team of authors from all South-East European states, Western Europe and North America draws a complicated, yet logically evolving picture of the problems in the security sector reform field of the region, and proves the validity of the particular research area. This comprehensive study concludes that the security sector in the region is becoming increasingly mature, but also faces a variety of uncompleted tasks.

Aus den Rezensionen: "Das Niveau der zivil-militarischen Beziehungen ist ... fur einen demokratischen Rechtsstaat bedeutend ... Die Staaten in Sudosteuropa im Allgemeinen und die Staaten am Westbalkan im Besonderen waren und sind diesbezuglich mit speziellen Herausforderungen konfrontiert, daher wird im vorliegenden Sammelwerk genau diese hoch aktuelle Problematik im geopolitisch sensiblen Raum behandelt. Das Sammelwerk ... beinhaltet Beitrage von funfzehn Autoren aus elf Staaten ... Zusammenfassend sei ... anzumerken, dass die einzelnen Beitrage trotz unterschiedlicher Schwerpunkte einen guten Uberblick uber den Entwicklungsstand der zivilmilitarischen Beziehungen im jeweiligen Land darstellen" (Rastislav Bachora, in: Der Donauraum, 2006, Issue 3-4, S. 279 f.)More details
