“…Conceptualisation of the potential influence of NATO and the EU as SSR actors, particularly towards post-Soviet transition states, has remained limited. The literature evaluating NATO or EU SSR missions from a policy studies perspective has largely focused on the Middle East or Africa (Sedra 2006(Sedra , 2013Schröder et al 2013;Schröder 2014), rather than on Eastern European transition states (Simons 2012 on Georgia is an exception). In the "eastern neighbourhood", NATO and the EU appear to approach SSR support differently in light of the geopolitical context (Tytarchuk and Khylko 2016;Jayasundara-Smits 2018).…”

Security sector reform has remained largely disconnected from the broader debate on societal transition in the literature thus far. We conceptualise how external support to security sector reform could potentially facilitate socio-political order opening in a limited access order. Based on two dimensions, we examine the case of NATO and EU's support to Ukraine's security sector reform between 2014 and 2019. NATO's support to the military and the EU's support to the police and state security service (SBU) appear unlikely to cause opening of the social order, while NATO's support to the military-industrial complex is more likely to cause opening.

“…Global organisations, such as UN agencies, the World Bank and major international donors are powerful agents mobilising resources, authority and undertaking strategic action to push and impose ideas and policy practices in certain locations (Schroeder et al, 2013;Nay, 2012). They can be active in sharing successes and promoting further circulation and adaptation in new locations (Webber, 2015).…”

Public Policy Circulation

Contemporary policy work is deeply informed by the circulation of policy initiatives and models from other jurisdictions. Sometimes close and at other times distant, the influence of various 'elsewheres' (Allen and Cochrane, 2007) has become a routine feature of the policy process. Researchers from a range of academic disciplines have matched the increased traffic of policy knowledge with a growing body of knowledge that seeks to document and understand it. While political scientists have the longest history of engagement with travelling policy, anthropologists, geographers, sociologists, urban planners and other social scientists have joined the fray in recent years, creating a lively multidisciplinary research effort (Benson and Jordan, 2011; McCann and Ward, 2012). Yet, for the most part, this research effort has been disjointed. Despite having a common interest at their core (the movement of policy), there are largely separate conversations occurring, structured around concepts such as policy diffusion, policy learning, policy transfer and policy mobility. These conversations have 'lived together apart' for some time now, but appear to be converging toward a focus on diverse arenas, agents and actions implicated in the circulation of policy. We have also seen shifts from structure-agency binaries to notions of contextually-embedded agency, from neat, spatially and temporally delimited processes to messy, ongoing processes, and from an exclusive interest in the 'why' of travelling policy to a broader set of research questions regarding the 'how'. In this book we use 'policy circulation' as an expedient umbrella term that signifies this emergent zone of common ground. We intend the notion of policy circulation to be largely agnostic (in ontological, epistemological and methodological terms), but it is inescapably oriented toward the work involved in moving policy and the ongoing nature of such efforts. It provides a loose conceptual and empirical space in which Policy Diffusion Policy diffusion emerged as a distinct area of inquiry in the 1960s, put to the task of studying patterns of intra-national policy adoption in the context of United States federalism. Policy diffusion studies seek to map and explain sequential patterning related to the uptake of 'policy innovations'-defined by Walker (1969, p. 881) as 'a program or policy which is new to the state adopting it'-to understand when and why certain jurisdictions adopt policies from other jurisdictions (see Simmons and Elkins, 2004; Levi-Faur, 2005; Simmons et al., 2006). Although the term 'policy diffusion' is often invoked to describe 'a process through which policy choices in one country affect those made in a second country', Marsh and Sharman (2009, pp. 270-71) argue that those researching policy diffusion more often have in mind 'a process of interdependent policy convergence'. Here, the choices of governments are not just interdependent, whereby 'the choice of a government influences the choices made by others and, conversely, the choice of a governmen...

Schröder et al (2013) nehmen eine komparative Perspektive ein. Der Zusammenhang von Staatlichkeit, Intervention und Sicherheit wird von Wesley folgendermaßen herausgestellt: »Security is given absolute priority, reflecting a Weberian understanding of the essence of stateness as the monopoly of the means of legitimate violence and a Hobbesian belief that a pervasive state of insecurity makes all other human activity impossible.…”

Der Staatsbildungsprozess in Kamerun entwickelte sich trotz internationaler Beobachtung und UN-mandatierter Treuhandsituation gewaltvoll. Zentral war der Konflikt um die Übergabe des Gewaltmonopols und die Kommunikation von Sicherheit, Unsicherheit und Bedrohung, da anti-koloniale Kräfte, lokale Eliten und internationale Verwalter ihre Ansprüche an den zukünftigen Staat über Sicherheitssprechen vermittelten. Im Zusammendenken von postkolonialen Theorien und Sicherheitsforschung entwickelt Maria Ketzmerick eine Verlaufsperspektive auf den Staatsbildungsprozess, die Erklärungsgehalt für aktuelle Konfliktlagen in Kamerun hat, und ermittelt darüber hinaus Narrative von Sicherheit, die im postkolonialen Staat eine Fortschreibung erfuhren.
