Security Sector Governance in the Western Balkans 2004

This is the first installment of an annual publication of the Geneva Centre for Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF) providing ongoing analysis of security sector governance and reform efforts in the Western Balkans. Part I addresses regional and international themes, including regional and European integration, economic development, security sector reform in general, norms transfer, military spending, and border security. Part II includes analyses of the reform efforts of each country: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro, and Slovenia. The book is addressed primarily to policy makers within the region or who deal with the region on issues of security sector reform, but is also of interest to academics and policy makers in related fields such as development and democratization, as well as to similar individuals working on these issues in other parts of the world. The book’s editor, Ambassador Dr. István Gyarmati, has had a distinguished diplomatic career and is currently Chairman of the Board of the Centre for Euro Atlantic Integration and Democracy in Budapest and Senior Adviser for Southeastern Europe at DCAF.
