Abstract :The Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) process is critical in helping post-conflict societies transition from violence to peace and stability. This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of DDR research over the past two decades, using data from the Scopus database. Analyzing 1,211 publications, the study identifies key trends, thematic focuses, and gaps in the field. It reveals that themes such as reintegration, peacebuilding, and transitional justice are prominent, while gender perspectives and regional case studies are increasingly incorporated. Despite the breadth and heterogeneity of research in this field, significant gaps remain, especially about differentiated consideration of region-specific obstacles and the introduction of interdisciplinary approaches. Moreover, the study offers a roadmap for future research, emphasizing the need to integrate local contexts, ensure sustainable development, and adapt DDR programs to changing conflict dynamics. The findings provide a deeper understanding of DDR’s role in global security and development, guiding those working in this field.
