      abstract = {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.},
