This book investigates the extent to which research has influenced and interacted with SSR policies, programmes and activities implemented by the UK in conflict-affected Sierra Leone. Varisco uses concepts and notions from the literature on the policy process and research utilisation to explore the ways in which research has influenced UK-led SSR policy. Here, the author analyses the evolution of the network of policy-makers, street-level bureaucrats, and researchers working on SSR in Sierra Leone, and argues that two main variables - an increased stability in the country and a progressive evolution of SSR in policy and research - contributed to the expansion of the policy network over time and to a better use of research by street-level bureaucrats on the ground. This title derives from the Sierra Leone case study a series of recommendations to improve the use of research by international organisations and bilateral donors working in fragile states
Andrea Edoardo Varisco works as Technical Adviser for Conflict Armament Research, an organisation that identifies and tracks illicit weapons in armed conflicts. Andrea has field experiences in numerous developing and conflict-affected states across Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. He received his PhD from the University of York (UK).
