title = {The OSCE in Central Asia: Debating Police-related Activities},
year = {2020},
note = {This contribution calls for a debate on the effects of OSCE
police-related activities in Central Asia. Drawing on a typology of
internationally-supported police aid, it outlines three questions that
deserve more scrutiny by participating States and civil society: Is
the OSCE able to support democratic police governance in Central Asia?
To what extent can the OSCE help improve human security? What are the
limitations and risks of law enforcement support? Tentative evidence
suggests that the OSCE faces significant challenges in translating its
commitment to democratic policing into practice in Central Asia,
mainly due to resistance from Central Asian governments, but there are
other significant factors, including law enforcement support from
other international actors and institutional features of the OSCE such
as short budget cycles that hamper strategic planning. This paper
outlines how participating States that want the OSCE to support
democratic policing can use opportunities, address limitations, and
limit risks.},
