Editorial Reviews

Review

Aus den Rezensionen: "Das Niveau der zivil-militärischen Beziehungen ist … für einen demokratischen Rechtsstaat bedeutend … Die Staaten in Südosteuropa im Allgemeinen und die Staaten am Westbalkan im Besonderen waren und sind diesbezüglich mit speziellen Herausforderungen konfrontiert, daher wird im vorliegenden Sammelwerk genau diese hoch aktuelle Problematik im geopolitisch sensiblen Raum behandelt. Das Sammelwerk … beinhaltet Beiträge von fünfzehn Autoren aus elf Staaten … Zusammenfassend sei … anzumerken, dass die einzelnen Beiträge trotz unterschiedlicher Schwerpunkte einen guten Überblick über den Entwicklungsstand der zivilmilitärischen Beziehungen im jeweiligen Land darstellen" (Rastislav Báchora, in: Der Donauraum, 2006, Issue 3-4, S. 279 f.)

From the Back Cover

It is notorious that the evolution of civil-military relations and the security sector reform in South East Europe has to deal with post-totalitarian and post-conflict challenges. The book treats these issues also in the context of the adaptation to fighting terrorism and the need to be effective in this struggle while continuing the democratic reforms in the individual countries. A team of authors from all South East European states, Western Europe and North America draws the complicated, yet logically evolving picture of the problems in the security sector reform field of the region and proves the validity of the particular research area. The comprehensive study concludes there is a rising maturity of the security sector in the region, but also a variety of uncompleted tasks.
