| Title | Defence Reform and Police Reform Processes in Bosnia and Herzegovina: A Comparative Analysis |
| Summary | This paper will explore and evaluate the international community’s role in two particular aspects of security sector reform within BiH: defence reform and police reform. Given the disparate outcomes of the two reform processes, much insight could potentially be provided by a careful analysis of the factors that have impacted the relative success of the defence reform versus the relative failure of the police reform in BiH. A literature review of security sector reforms in post-conflict societies in general will provide an outline of the factors that impact the outcome of the international community’s involvement in post-conflict security sector reforms. The explanatory value of these factors will be evaluated in regards to the defence reform and police reform processes. Moreover, the paper will also discuss factors that based on the gathered data were shown to be important in explaining the disparate outcome of the international community’s involvement in the two reform processes in BiH but that were not mentioned as significant in the studies on post-conflict security sector reform. Ultimately, based on a comparative analysis of defence reforms and police reforms in BiH, this paper aims to provide new insights that will be relevant for both general security sector reform studies as well as for those that focus on the general reform processes ongoing in BiH. |
