The Politics of Security Governance

Chapter 2 elaborates the theoretical argument. It defines the concept of security governance and lays out an approach to measuring variation. It discusses the political tradeoffs that arise around security governance due to the importance of security forces for consolidating authority after civil war. The chapter then outlines a framework for examining how these tradeoffs affect security governance, focusing on how political networks and revenue sources shape the political costs, benefits, and risks of decisions to institutionalize security governance or maintain informal forms of control. It then examines how the roles and influence of external actors vary with internal political dynamics. It concludes with observable implications for the empirical analysis.
