La réforme britannique du secteur de la sécurité en Sierra Leone: vers un nouveau paradigme?
In: La politique africaine, Heft 98, S. 63-78

The British intervention in Sierra Leone has been accompanied by a 'reform of the security sector' (RSS): the rehauling of the army, the police and the judiciary. The RSS corresponds to a specific doctrinal development and bears witness to the British willingness to make a long-term investment in the country's stability. The 'novelty' of this engagement is mitigated by the fact that in its modalities, the RSS shares many features of the 'anti-politics machine' analysed by James Ferguson. (Polit afr/DÜI)
