“…19 Meanwhile, a major flaw in the approach of the UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) was mostly limiting SSR to the exercise of capacity-building without close cooperation with civil society and the media. 20 Such problems can be attributed to what has been characterized as a 'slide towards expediency', in which programmes aimed at increasing the democratic accountability of the security sector 'have been superseded by a singular focus on training and equipping the country's fledgling security forces', 21 as exemplified by the case of Afghanistan. This 'slide towards expediency' also reinforces the suspicions of those resistant to SSR on the principle that it compromises developmental objectives.…”

HE INER HÄ NGGI an d VINC ENZ A S C HER RERThis article examines the possibilities and constraints of the United Nations in developing and implementing an integrated approach to Security Sector Reform (SSR), with particular emphasis on integrated missions. The article introduces the SSR concept, and examines the UN's engagement in this sector. It then forwards three main strands of argument that support the need for developing an integrated SSR approach, and highlights the impact that this will have on the coherence and efficiency of UN support to national SSR processes. Examining the challenges and obstacles the UN system will face in developing such an approach, the article concludes on a cautious note and questions the extent to which an integrated SSR approach is feasible.

“…While historically examining the restraining of conflict, this area of the literature has burgeoned as of late and is incorporating more elements examining policing (Holm & Eide, 2000). Specifically, there have developed three significant areas within the peacekeeping literature: (a) the evaluation of police reform and rebuilding, similar to post-conflict policing (Gbla, 2006;Hood, 2006;Heinemann-Gruder & Grebenschikov, 2006;International Crisis Group, 2002, 2005Murray, 2007;Suhrke & Samset, 2007), (b) the development of metrics by which to judge police reform (Brzoska, 2006;Hannum, 2006;Hazen, 2007;Serafino, 2004), and (c) case studies of police intervention in conflict (Oakley et al, 1998).…”

“…While peacekeeping is the area of research within policing that most closely deals with conflict, again we see surprisingly little information regarding police behavior during conflict. The vast majority of the literature focuses on the reform of police forces after intervention or, even more frequently, evaluations of the success or failure of specific international policing missions, most frequently the United Nations Civilian Police (UN CIVPOL now UNPOL; Heinemann- Gruder & Grebenschikov, 2006;Hood, 2006;Murray, 2007). Additionally, there is limited information on what the policing implementation process is for specific conflict, but again, it focuses on the organizational level instead of actively reviewing police activity.…”

Conflict Policing: Policing in a Time of War

Violent conflict, within countries and internationally, is a significant factor in many justice issues, most notably policing. Yet, despite this importance, there has been relatively little research into the policing issues that arise in relation to conflict and none that look at police behavior during conflict. This article examines the current literature on conflict and the justice issues surrounding it and suggests a realignment of research to specifically address the strong relationship between conflict, crime, and policing. The resulting research agenda, an area defined as ‘‘Conflict Policing,’’ is outlined and ways forward are suggested.

“…These justifications for the importance of RoL programming in the transformation agenda are strengthened by the fact that in some cases individuals working within RoL institutions are themselves active in modes of criminality that contribute to political economies of violence (Brand, 2002;Dziedzic et al, 2002;Heinemann-Grüder and Grebenschikov, 2006). Security agents, both local and international, are known to be either the direct beneficiaries of conflict-related trade, or complicit-facilitators who benefit from the corruption on which other war economy participants rely.…”

Building a peace economy?

Until recently, the study of conflict and conflict resolution remained comparatively immune to broad developments in social and political theory. When the changing nature and locus of large-scale conflict in the post-Cold War era is also taken into account, the case for a reconsideration of the fundamentals of conflict analysis and conflict resolution becomes all the more stark. New Approaches to Conflict Analysis promotes the development of new theoretical insights and their application to concrete cases of large-scale conflict, broadly defined. The series intends not to ignore established approaches to conflict analysis and conflict resolution, but to contribute to the reconstruction of the field through a dialogue between orthodoxy and its contemporary critics. Equally, the series reflects the contemporary porosity of intellectual borderlines rather than simply perpetuating rigid boundaries around the study of conflict and peace. New Approaches to Conflict Analysis seeks to uphold the normative commitment of the field's founders yet also recognises that the moral impulse to research is properly part of its subject matter. To these ends, the series is comprised of the highest quality work of scholars drawn from throughout the international academic community, and from a wide range of disciplines within the social sciences.
