Guide to Rebuilding Governance in Stability Operations: A Role for the Military?

Brinkerhoff, Johnson, and Hill | Strategic Studies Institute | 2009-06-18

The purpose of this Governance Guide is to provide a more in-depth understanding of the role that the U.S. military should play in stabilization and reconstruction operations. It is meant to be a supplemental resource to existing guidance, in order to fill in the gaps of the information that's available on post-conflict operations.

Excerpt from the report: "This guide examines an intervening force's contribution to creating a functional state that can deliver services effectively, is responsive and accountable to its citizens, and is capable of assuring security. For each of these three areas, the discussion summarizes key issues, trade-offs, and options for military strategists, planners, and personnel that relate to the restoration and rebuilding of government in the context of full spectrum operations."
