Haiti's Army, Stabilization and Security Sector Governance
Summary: Geoff Burt on the proposal to re-establish a Haitian army, read through the lens of security sector governance rather than force structure. Published as Stability 5(1): 14.
Key Findings
- Reads the proposal to re-establish a Haitian army through security sector governance rather than force structure, so the question becomes who would control it rather than what it would consist of.
- Records the cost then pegged at US$95 million, and the argument that this was unjustifiable against other urgent priorities.
- Written by Geoff Burt for the journal Stability, so it is an academic treatment of a live political proposal rather than a policy position of a government or agency.
