Summary

Any study that explores one state’s half-century involvement in the security affairs of a region will find it difficult to deduce an explanatory theory that holds valid across different cases and across time. Anomalies inevitably emerge. To be sure, British policy towards, and British involvement in, establishing, developing and sometimes running local professional forces – namely salaried, uniformed and centrally controlled state instruments of coercion – varied considerably.
