Abstract
Abstract Civil-military cooperation is nothing new and has been a standard part of peace operations at least since the early l 990s. With the expansion of peace operations in the course of the past decade, the term ‘civil-military cooperation’ has come to incorporate a wide range of efforts to secure cooperation and coordination between the activities of civilian agencies and those of the military forces in a conflict area. At the same time, law-and-order issues have come to the fore as a central concern in any peace operation. This has brought the relationship between military forces and the international civilian police (CivPols) into the spotlight, as public security is the realm in which the paths of the military and the civilian police, as the relevant key players in the civilian reconstruction effort, cross most frequently. In the civilian police monitoring operations of the early 1990s, military-police cooperation was limited and consisted mainly of logistical support. However, with the steadily expanding role of civilian police in peace operations, the interface between military and police staff has increased, providing more opportunities and placing greater demands on cooperation between the two.
