International assistance and security sector reform in Latin America and Caribbean / Assistência internacional e reforma do setor de segurança na América Latina e Caribe

Tomesani, Ana Maura 20 February 2019 (has links)
This work seeks to understand the demands of the security sector in Latin America and Caribbean (LAC), in the context of reforms promoted by international aid agencies in the region. The initial hypothesis of this study is that international aid programs focused on Security Sector Reform (SSR) in the region have been generic, and have overlooked recipient countries\' own reform agendas. LAC perspectives on SSR have been inferred from documents of the Organization of American States (OAS), UNASUR, MERCOSUR, CARICOM and Andean Community documents. Information on international assistance for SSR programs was gathered from the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) database for the years 2004-2014. The analysis shows that assistance programs are not generic and that the profile of projects, resources allocated and countries targeted differ greatly according to donors. However, international offer does not account for the whole set of demands and some expensive programs funded by international assistance are not even mentioned in local agendas, what suggests that SSR aid responds to funder\'s guidelines rather than to local needs. The study also reveals differences in programs funded by bilateral and multilateral aid agencies in the region, showing that, in general, programs funded by multilateral agencies are more attentive to local needs than those promoted by bilateral agencies, which are less demand-driven and more guided by donor interests. / Este trabalho busca entender as demandas do setor de segurança na América Latina e Caribe (ALC), no contexto das reformas promovidas pelas agências internacionais de cooperação para o desenvolvimento na região. A hipótese inicial deste estudo é que os programas de assistência internacional voltados à Reforma do Setor de Segurança (RSS) na região são genéricos e negligenciam as agendas de reforma dos países receptores. As perspectivas da ALC sobre RSS foram inferidas a partir de documentos da OEA, UNASUL, MERCOSUL, CARICOM e Comunidade Andina. Informações sobre assistência internacional para programas de RSS na região foram coletadas da base de dados do Comitê de Assistência ao Desenvolvimento (CAD) da OCDE para o período 2004-2014. A análise mostra que os programas de assistência não são genéricos e que o perfil dos projetos, recursos alocados e países alvo diferem muito de acordo com os doadores. No entanto, a oferta internacional não contempla o conjunto de demandas locais e alguns programas dispendiosos financiados pela comunidade de doadores sequer são mencionados nas agendas regionais, o que sugere que a assistência para programas de RSS responde às diretrizes do financiador e não às necessidades locais. O estudo também revela diferenças entre programas financiados por agências de ajuda bilateral e multilateral na região, mostrando que, em geral, programas financiados por agências multilaterais têm maior aderência às necessidades locais do que aqueles promovidos por agências bilaterais, que são menos orientadas pela demanda e mais guiada pelos interesses dos doadores.

Peace Building After Humanitarian Intervention: The Case Of Bosnia And Herzegovina

Latif, Dilek 01 September 2005 (has links) (PDF)
ABSTRACT PEACE BUILDING AFTER HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION: THE CASE OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Latif, Dilek Ph.D., Department of International Relations Supervisor: Prof. Dr. ihsan D. Dagi August 2005, 379 pages. This dissertation analyzes peace building process after humanitarian intervention. It conceptualizes peace building through questioning the feasibility of peace building following a humanitarian intervention. Addressing the deficiency of contemporary peace building approach, this thesis indicates the shortcomings of the various instruments of peace building in contributing peace and reconciliation on the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Besides, it shows the drawbacks of the current practice that peace building is a learning process, which employs the lessons learnt to advance the efficiency of peace building process. There is a lack of comprehensive approach to peace building, based on case studies, evaluating the shortcomings and merits of all the instruments of peace building that provides a general strategy. Despite abundancy of policy oriented research to contribute policy making, academic work to analyze such a complicated phenomena has been frail. Within this context, contribution of the dissertation is to demonstrate the entire picture and question viability of the peace building process in war-torn societies. Therefore, it is enriching the study on the peace building operations. Failure of institutionalization of peace in BiH after almost a decade of rigorous peace building efforts of the international community shows the fault of the mainstream understanding of peace building. The dissertation also unveils that engagement in Kosovo is the product of a similar strategy, which in practice either repeated the same fruitless methods or tried to build on the experience obtained in Bosnia but failed to heal up the troubles and challenges faced in Kosovo. Overall, the study points out the inevitability of a novel approach and an alternative peace building strategy beyond the policy-related focus.

Sladká, Jana January 2012 (has links)
A subject of this diploma thesis is a role of private military companies (PMCs) in security sector reform (SSR) in Iraq in a period from 2003 to 2011. The first chapter of the thesis focuses on goals and process of post-conflict SSR from a theoretical point of view because of an involvement of PMCs in post-conflict reconstruction which was taking place in Iraq. Part of the theoretical chapter is a SSR and steps which is the SSR process composed of. The second chapter concentrates on definitions and typologies of PMCs. This part of the thesis makes a distinction between mercenaries and private military contractors and PMCs themselves. Last but not least the second chapter encompasses discussion about a role of PMCs in a process of SSR in post-conflict countries. The third chapter is dedicated to a historical development of cooperation between PMCs and the US; it analyses roots of the US dependence on services provided by PMCs. A case study of Iraq elaborates on a role of PMCs in a process of Iraqi security reform. Aim of this chapter is to define advantages and disadvantages of usage of services provided by PMCs. By taking into account disadvantages employment of PMCs represents, steps that could help to avoid those in the future are suggested.

Sécurité et reconstruction d’après-guerre : l’action policière et militaire internationale

Rivard Piché, Gaëlle 07 1900 (has links)
La réforme des secteurs de sécurité est au cœur du processus de reconstruction postconflictuelle et du rétablissement de l’État de droit. Souvent implantées par des acteurs internationaux, ces réformes sont nécessaires au développement socio-économique des sociétés sortant de conflit. L’objectif premier de ce travail est d’établir si la coordination des forces militaires et policières internationales a une influence sur la réussite de la réforme des secteurs de sécurité dans le cadre des missions de paix de l’ONU. L'hypothèse de départ est la suivante : la coordination entre les policiers et les militaires sur le terrain, facilitée par la coopération entre les composantes policières et militaires du Département des opérations de maintien de la paix de l'ONU (DOMP), favorise le succès de la RSS. C’est la culture bureaucratique de l’ONU qui influencera la qualité et le degré de coopération entre les composantes policières et militaires du DOMP. Cela sera vérifié à travers l’étude en deux temps de l’aide internationale apportée à la réforme des secteurs de sécurité en Haïti de 1993 à 1997, puis de 2004 à aujourd’hui. La qualité de la coordination entre policiers et militaires dépend de facteurs internes à la mission plutôt que des initiatives mises de l’avant par les quartiers généraux de l’ONU. De plus, la coordination militaropolicière sur le terrain facilite certains aspects de la réforme des secteurs de sécurité, comme la professionnalisation des forces policières locales et le rétablissement de la sécurité. / Security sector reform is central to post conflict reconstruction and the restoration of rule of law. Often initiated by international actors, these reforms are essential to social and economic development in societies coming out of conflicts. The primary objective of this thesis is to determine whether international police and military coordination has an impact on security sector reform’s success in United Nations peace operations. The main hypothesis follows: police-military coordination in peace operations, supported by cooperation between police and military offices inside the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO), fosters security sector reform success. It is the United Nations bureaucratic culture that influences the level and the quality of cooperation between police and military agencies inside the DPKO. This will be tested through a qualitative analysis of security sector reform programs implemented by the United Nations in Haiti, from 1993 to 1997 and 2004 to nowadays. The quality of coordination between police and military on the ground depends more on internal factors to the mission than on initiatives fostered by UN headquarters. Furthermore, police-military coordination fosters some aspects of security sector reform, like the professionalization of local police and security restoration.

Haïti : une intervention exemplaire ? La Réforme du Secteur de Sécurité en Haïti / Haiti : an exemplary intervention? Security Sector Reform in Haiti

Hirschhorn, Damien 15 September 2014 (has links)
Cette thèse cherche d'abord à comprendre, en usant de l'exemple Haïtien, si les Réformes du Secteur de Sécurité menées à bien dans le cadre des interventions internationales dans des pays en crise ou en situation de post-conflit, sont efficaces dans l'accomplissement de leurs objectifs et apportent le meilleur soutien d'une manière durable aux Etats hôtes. Finalement, ce document est aussi une base de réflexion pour trouver de nouvelles solutions et pratiques à la mise en oeuvre de Réformes du Secteur de Sécurité. / First of all, this thesis aims at understanding, while using the example of Haiti, if Security Sector Reforms carried out within international interventions in crisis or post-conflict countries are effective at accomplishing their objectives and providing the best support for sustainable changes to host States. Finally this document's objective is also to serve as a support in finding new solutions and new practices to successfully achieve Security Sector Reforms.
