This MA thesis will argue that a lack of shared vision among
international actors and an absence of leadership and capacity in Afghanistan
government are critical factors for the failures of post-conflict
reconstruction.
This study develops process tracing and
case study method of research. It explains donors' efforts within a
synchronized mission to reform the security sector and police. The theory
postulates that Security Sector and Police Reform are the initial steps towards
success in post-conflict reconstruction. The theory of post-conflict
reconstruction shows that coordination among donors and efficient leadership
enhances post-conflict reconstruction efforts to reform security institutions
and build professional police. The thesis examines this theory for Afghanistan
after 9/11, using qualitative method, particularly process tracing and single
case study techniques.
This study argues that Security Sector
Reform (SSR), particularly policing, is not successful in Afghanistan.
This research focuses on police reform and addresses the following research
questions to demonstrate failures of SSR process: How do international and
local actors donate to the success or failure of Afghanistan Security Sector
and Police Reform? How do actors, leadership, and policies within a
synchronized mission fail to build professional police?
