This paper examines how hybrid security structures, enabled by international support, responded to the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone. The main objective of this article is to critically discuss the manifestation of hybrid security governance in practice, to consider the constraints and analyze the sustainability of internationally supported security governance interventions in post-conflict Sierra Leone. Specifically, the diverse networks and processes of the formal and informal security, policing and justice institutions are analyzed to generate an understanding of how their interwoven nature affects operational responses to national crises. Using secondary resources, the argument presented here finds that despite international intervention efforts, the hybrid security structures response to the Ebola outbreak show-cased the challenges of operationalizing hybridity due in part to international post-conflict reconstruction efforts prioritizing formal structures with too little support given to informal structures in the years before the Ebola crisis.

对危机的混合安全治理响应：塞拉利昂的埃博拉应对案例

本文研究了在国际支持下的混合安全结构如何应对塞拉利昂的埃博拉疫情。本文的主要目的是批判性地讨论混合安全治理在实践中的表现，考虑限制并分析冲突后塞拉利昂国际支持的安全治理干预措施的可持续性。具体而言，对正式和非正式安全、警务和司法机构的不同网络和流程进行了分析，以了解它们相互交织的性质如何影响对国家危机的行动反应。使用次要资源，这里提出的论点发现，尽管国际干预努力，
