"The lack of agreed definitions for terms and concepts in Security Sector Reform (SSR) has been widely recognised, and is agreed to be a weakness in the discipline. This article seeks to account for that weakness by tracing the history of SSR as a discipline (by Civil-Military Relations out of Development Studies) and to remedy it by an empirical and methodical discussion of the main issues, followed by some suggested definitions. David Chuter has worked for the UK government for almost thirty years, and is currently on loan to the French Ministry of Defence in Paris; He has been involved in practical SSR work in Africa and elsewhere for the last dozen years, and has lectured extensively on the subject. He is the author of Defence Transformation: A Short Guide to the Issues."
