“…A prerequisite for social development and human rights protection is the security and stability that comes through an effective, impartial and humane introduction of law and order, alongside the extension of sound governance to the military sector itself.”

CO-OPERATIONCO-OPERATION

International organisations active in internal security reform projects have come to accept the need for enhanced co-ordination in the field. Nevertheless, the trend towards establishing high-level political agreements on co-ordination has not always led to increased co-ordination on the ground. Although donor co-ordination has moved towards the formalisation of inter-organisational agreements, there remain serious obstacles to effective co-operation in their operational activity.

“False images often come from genuine illusions, errors of judgment, or social defamation, and are not always a rationalisation of pre-existing feelings.

Inter-personal misunderstandings do not automatically correct themselves but may become chronic and reciprocal, the persons adjusting their behaviour in various ways to the false images.”

(Ichheiser: 1943: 302)

STYLES ACTION AND CONCLUSION

AVOIDING ACTIONS A retreat from the conflict but typically results in nothing being resolved.

SMOOTHING ACTIONS Focuses on accepting the situation as it stands and emphasising areas of agreement; this is likely to only provide a short-term solution.

COMPROMISING ACTIONS Compromising is bargaining; if both sides agree a definitive solution can be achieved.

FORCING ACTIONS Forcing is an authoritarian style that results in the promotion of one viewpoint at the expense of all others and the lack of consensus will typically result in the prolonging of the dispute.

COLLABORATING ACTIONS Collaborating reflects a long term strategy; once everyone comes to agreement, a long-term solution is possible.

CONFRONTING ACTIONS The confronting mechanism seeks to define and addresses the core problem, looks for alternatives through dialogue and provides a solution.

(Adapted from Burnette & Forsyth, 2003: 7-13; Forsyth, 2006: 64-67).

Ensuring conflict and context sensitivity and redressing historical inequities can only be achieved on the basis of sound and early analysis of local realities. The most effective and sustainable external interventions are rooted in local capacities and interventions.
