Security Sector Reform (SSR) in Constitutional Transitions is a study by Sujit Choudhry, Sumit Bisarya, Zoltan Barany, and Richard Stacey. It is a collection of studies published on September 19, 2019. Interested parties can purchase the ebook on Amazon.

The ebook guides emerging democracies on the best ways to reform security sector agencies during constitutional reforms in any part of the world. Many countries across the globe seek to transform tribal forces, dominant military, militia intelligence agencies, and police into accountable and democratically controlled security services.
