State, Civil Society And Police Reform In South Africa

The bulk of the police reforms introduced in the 1990-91 period in South Africa were initiated by the government or the South African Police itself. The new rhetoric of police reform, centring on the concept of "community-supported policing," continues to dominate the public debate about the transition and the longer term reform agenda. This paper examines the relationship between state and civil society in the process of police reform in the transitional period in South Africa.

Proposal For International And Local Monitoring In The Transition

This proposal sets out guidelines for monitoring of political violence in the immediate future. The proposal covers both local (domestic) and international monitoring agencies. While monitoring is often assumed to refer to all aspects related to political conflict, the accepted focus of monitoring in the international context is the conduct of armed forces.
