This article evaluates the prospects and problems associated with applying the security sector reform agenda in Southeast Asia. It argues that although the reform of regional security sectors along democratic lines provides an important opportunity to improve regional peace and security, by creating security sectors that are able to perform their tasks legitimately, effectively, and efficiently, the implementation of reform is fraught with problems. Such reforms may be perceived as being imposed by outsiders and hence may not take root, and reform may itself foster instability and may prompt states to redirect resources away from other activities to fund expensive professionalization programmes in the armed forces. Attempts to create armed forces in East Timor are indicative of some of the challenges confronting the security sector reform agenda. |
