Security Sector Assistance for Africa's Fragile States

The Rand Corporation has just published a study titled "Identifying and Mitigating Risks in Security Sector Assistance for Africa's Fragile States" by Stephen Watts.  The report explores the nature of the risks inherent in U.S. security sector assistance to the fragile states of Africa and how the United States might better anticipate and mitigate these risks.  The countries that are most in need of security assistance are usually the ones least able to make positive use of it.
