Security Sector Transformation in North Africa and the Middle East
eDialogue Summary Report
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with Libyan National Security Adviser Mutassim Qadhafi
As the Arab Spring continues to take root across the Middle East bringing unprecedented democratic change and also a high level of instability, debate has emerged on the role of security sector reform (SSR) in the fledgling transitions. From June 20 to 25, 2011, CIGI, and the US Institute of Peace (USIP), held a virtual dialogue to explore this issue. This report first outlines some of the open questions and ongoing discussions initiated by the eDialogue, and the second offers some specific entry points and policy directions for reform.
