Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research highlights a paradox of post-conflict state-building. Reforms to security governance are most likely where they are most difficult to achieve politically. As a result, external actors often undermine the conditions that enable influence by concentrating their support to weak leaders, and limit the potential for their own success. Understanding the political constraints and causal mechanisms for influence elucidates this and other core tensions inherent in post-conflict state-building.
