Kosovo's Police Reform 1999-2008: Learning Lessons in Post-conflict Intervention

Kosovo's Police Reform 1999-2008: Learning Lessons in Post-conflict Intervention

Kosovo was the setting for Yugoslavia’s final conflict and one of the most ambitious peacebuilding interventions in history. In 1999 the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo set about the twofold task of filling the power vacuum created by the departing Serb administration and, at the same time, building new institutions of government. The UNMIK programme to create the Kosovo Police was an area of notable success in its institution-building mandate. Spanning a decade and involving hundreds of international police officers and police education experts, the programme resulted in a modern and multi-ethnic police organization of over 8,000 officers. The new police was capable of providing a full range of police services, backed up by the best equipment and techniques, and with the support of the majority of the population.

This book has been prompted by the not infrequent comment that expensive post-conflict interventions are inadequately analysed, in terms of learning lessons for the future. In his probing and detailed analysis the author looks for answers to a number of questions about the way UNMIK set about its task with its international partners. What is revealed is both surprising and illuminating for academics, students and practitioners in the fields of international peacekeeping and post-conflict police reform. A paradox is found at the heart of the Kosovo Police programme: some successful features of the final outcome seem unlikely consequences of the process that created them. There is a sense in which the overall success has allowed some important failures to be overlooked or ignored.
