Policing Peace Operations: Filling the Security Gap Between Military and Police
Policing Peace Operations: Filling the security gap between military and police By Gultekin Topaktas A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Global Affairs written under the direction of Dr. Norman Samuels: Professor and Provost Emeritus and approved by Dr. James O. Finckenauer Dr. Gregg G. Van Ryzin Dr. Keith Cozine Newark, New Jersey May 2016 Copyright © 2016 Gultekin Topaktas ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Policing Peace Operations: Filling the security gap between military and police By GULTEKIN TOPAKTAS Dissertation Director: Dr. Norman Samuels: Professor and Provost Emeritus This dissertation explores the roles of gendarmerie, police and military forces in peace operations. The primary purpose of this study is to help strengthening criminal justice system of peace operations and understanding the potential role of law enforcement organizations with military status (gendarmeries) in peace operations. Existing literature indicates that military and police capabilities of gendarmerie- carabinierie type law enforcement organizations offer a unique skill for peace operations. These types of organizations perform a range of police functions such as traffic control, criminal investigations, and general policing activities in their home countries. Such forces can be deployed under the command of the military or can be deployed in police chain of command. In conflicts and peace operations, local law enforcement forces may be unable to maintain public order and security. Generally, until arrival of police units, first intervention units to deal with a security issue are international military forces.

Centralization, Professionalism, and Police Malfeasance in Latin America
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Policing as a Vocation: Centralization, Professionalism, and Police Malfeasance in Latin America A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Diego Esparza June 2015 Dissertation Committee: Dr. David Pion-Berlin, Chairperson Dr. Harold Trinkunas Dr. Marissa Brookes Copyright by Diego Esparza 2015 The Dissertation of Diego Esparza is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgement A Dissertation can be a lonely enterprise. But it does not have to be. My dissertation is the product of my own work that could not have been completed without the support of three groups of important people: mentors, colleagues, and family. Thank you all for your love, patience, friendship, and encouragement. I was accepted into UC Riverside in 2007 and wanted to come here to work with David Pion-Berlin. He was the mentor of one of my favorite professors at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Craig Arceneaux, who I thank for introducing me to civil-military relations. While at UCR, David has been the greatest source of intellectual support that I could have asked for. He has mentored me in writing, research, and on the stressful journey through the job market. A very special thanks to you and Lisa, for none of this would be possible without you. Marissa Brookes and Harold Trinkunas, thank you for kindly accepting to be on my search committee, and providing excellent feedback and support, without which I am sure I would not have been able to get a job. Yuhki Tajima and Will Barndt, your impact on me cannot be understated.
