Ph.D. Defence Peter Alexander Albrecht
In order to obtain the PhD degree, Peter Alexander Albrecht has submitted his PhD thesis.
This thesis argues that security sector reform has failed according to its ambition of establishing a ’centrally governed state’. Based on extensive fieldwork in Sierra Leone, it is argued that a primary reason for this is to be found in the concept of authority that state-building projects and much of the academic work that underpins it.
