Between 1991　and　2002, Sierra Leone was wracked by a devastating civil war and the complete collapse of state institutions. Since then, however, the UK's contribution to post-war reconstruction has been widely held up as an example of successful stabilisation and state-building - particularly of the country's security and justice institutions.　

Securing Sierra Leone, 1997-2013　examines how the process of state-building through security-sector reform developed in Sierra Leone, and the impact of this experience on international conceptualisations...

This collection of Valery's occasional pieces--speeches, interviews, articles--shows him very much as the public figure, the first in demand when an "occasion" needed a prominent person.

The book demonstrates how all the artists,...

James R. Lawler's elegant introduction deals with Valery's concerns and his influence, and also with critical interpretations of his work.
