“The book contains 10 chapters, each of which analyses a specific part of SSR, including local ownership, executive and legislative control of security forces, gender and police reform, and the role of civil society. … makes a significant contribution to our understanding of SSR. Each chapter is accessible, engaging, and insightful, and will surely spark interest and further analysis.” (Leanne-Marie McCarthy-Cotter, Journal of Current Southeast Asian Affairs, Vol. 34 (3), 2015)
