Recenzje

'... offers a unique approach to EU Security Sector Reform instruments and responds to criticism related to the lack of means and instruments of the EU to assist third countries. This in-depth analysis provides a unique reference for any future analysis of this field.' Julian Chifu, Director Conflict Prevention and Early Warning, Romania 'From Afghanistan to the Balkans, from Palestine to Africa, reforming armed forces, police, legal and judicial systems, is now recognised as a vital component of post-conflict reconstruction, state-building and democratisation. This book is a valuable contribution to the emerging debate on security sector reform. The detailed case studies in this volume provide important insights into the challenges of security sector reform and the European Union’s role in this area.' Andrew Cottey, University College Cork, Ireland
