PfP and Security Sector Reform
PfP and Security Sector Reform

Summary/Abstract: This analysis is primarily concerned with examining the building blocks and mechanisms through which NATO extends its political, normative, defence/military, economic, institutional, societal and geo-political influence and contributes (or not) to the implementation of Security Sector Reform (SSR) tasks in practise, within and around defined five clusters of the PfP – countries of the first and second round of NATO enlargement, Balkan countries, countries of Euro-Asian frontier, and countries of NATO’s strategic importance (South Caucasus and Central Asia). This contextual approach to holistic and never-ending process of SSR brings about its paradigm in the Euro-Atlantic context, with its centre of gravity in defence/military issues, as well as Richard Cohen’s model of Cooperative Security, with its core set in human security and liberal democratic governance. Within such general matrix, this study tries to assess the level of abstracted and empirical impact of the “PfP toolkit” on Partners’ SSR through above-mentioned seven contextual variables.
