ABSTRACT

Although Security Sector Reform (SSR) is widely regarded as a vital element of peacebuilding, its implementation has remained largely disappointing. In recent years, the academic literature has witnessed an intensifying debate on the need to close the policy-implementation gap in SSR. This article contributes to the debate on the need for a second generation SSR by exploring the value of further education (FE) programmes through an autoethnographic approach of FE courses delivered in Palestine, Lebanon, and Georgia. We argue that FE can enhance a holistic approach to SSR, contributing to horizontal and vertical integration and fostering a long-term strategic vision.

摘要

尽管安全部门改革（SSR）被广泛认为是建设和平的重要组成部分，但其实施在很大程度上仍然令人失望。近年来，学术文献见证了关于缩小 SSR 政策执行差距的必要性的激烈辩论。本文通过在巴勒斯坦、黎巴嫩和格鲁吉亚提供的 FE 课程的自我民族志方法探索继续教育 (FE) 计划的价值，从而有助于关于第二代 SSR 必要性的辩论。我们认为，FE 可以增强 SSR 的整体方法，有助于横向和纵向整合并培养长期战略愿景。
