Abstract

ABSTRACT This article analyses the roles of key liberation war actors in shaping the new security regime in Zimbabwe. This is done through analysing the trajectory of the security sector reforms (SSR) and the missed opportunities for transformation since 1980. The post 1980 security establishment was dominated by the logistical posturing of the liberation war security structures. This allowed for the infusion of the exile formed liberation culture values that evolved during war-time governance practices. SSR in the country remained deliberately skewed towards technical capacity building, without attempts to align the security provision with the universal human rights doctrine. The findings show that the partisan oriented SSR approach has contributed to the elusive human security paradigm in the country.

津巴布韦的解放文化和错失的安全部门改革机会：1980-2018

摘要本文分析了解放战争中关键角色在津巴布韦新安全制度形成中的作用。这是通过分析1980年以来安全部门改革的轨迹和错失的转型机会来实现的。1980年后的安全机构主要是解放战争安全结构的后勤姿态。这使得流亡形成的解放文化价值观得以注入，这些价值观是在战争时期的治理实践中演变而来的。该国的安全部门改革仍然故意偏向技术能力建设，没有试图使安全条款与普遍人权理论相一致。研究结果表明，以党派为导向的SSR方法助长了该国难以捉摸的人类安全模式。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
