Abstract (Original Language):
Multilateral peace-keeping missions are pervasive in today's world, particularly in ex-Yugoslavian Republics. The goal of these missions is often to re-establish order, one way to accomplish this is to rebuild political institutions. Rehabilitating policing agencies within failed states is an essential component to establishing a peaceful and productive society. This paper discusses four issues that are important to policing after ethnic conflict. -Police culture, democratic participation, the political environment the police operate with-in, and the perceptions of the population about law enforcement. This paper also address-es the current perspectives on policing in stable states to some of the challenges facing cre-ating law enforcement structures in unstable and often ethnically divided states.
