Summary/Abstract: Among the basic conditions for successful state management in a post conflict setting is the establishment of democratic civilian control and oversight over the security sector as well as its integration and consolidation. This is a difficult and sensitive task, since the security sector includes institutions directly involved in the realisation of the state’s most basic function: guaranteeing national security. As a result, the security sector reform process is a significant part of the overall political, economic, social and institutional transformation of state structures. Successful transformation is reflected in the application of quality oriented democratic oversight of the whole security sector community, consisting of both state and non-state actors engaged in the process of maintaining national security.
