The cover image of this edition of NL-ARMS is a photograph of a fragment of the uni- que ‘eye tiles’, discovered during a restoration of the Castle of Breda, the home of the RNLMA. They are thought to have constituted the entire floor space of the Grand North Gallery in the Palace of Henry III (1483-1538). They are attributed to the famous Antwerp artist Guido de Savino (?-1541). The eyes are believed to symbolize vigilance and just government.

In the meantime the world’s security environment has changed fundamentally. Today, it is no longer possible to make a clear distinction between security outside and within Europe. Conflicts elsewhere in the world often have direct spill-over effects, not primarily in terms of military threats but by challenges posed by illegal immigration, terrorism, international crime and illegal trade. Lampedusa has become a synonym for tragedy. Crises and instability in Africa, the Middle East and elsewhere in the world provide breeding grounds for extremism, weapons smuggling, drugs trafficking or kidnapping.

    Foreword By Dr. Karen Finkenbinder Michael Burgoyne has made a valuable contribution to stabilization. The 21st century requires a new way of thinking. U.S. experts such as David Bayley, Robert Perito, and Michael Dziedzic have discussed a security gap in post-conflict and failed states, and promoted ways to close it. The U.S. model of decentralized policing is not it. Rather, as Burgoyne notes, we must look to our partners that have Gendarmerie Type Forces (GTF) – Stability Police Forces. Though others may be able to do stability policing in the short-term, Stability Police made up of GTF are the best approach. They have extensive expertise and experience policing civilian communities (the latter lacking in military forces), often in high-crime and insecure environments. As Burgoyne rightly observes, “the military lacks expertise in policing and law enforcement which can create a counterproductive outcome when training foreign police forces. Even military police lack the community policing knowledge resident in European SPFs.” Rather than enable minimally qualified U.S. contractors or use military personnel, the United States should continue to partner with the Center of Excellence for Stability Policing Units (CoESPU) in Vicenza, Italy, an organization that includes GTF officers from many countries and develops international stability police. Similarly, the United States should support the development of the NATO Stability Police Concept that envisions military forces quickly transitioning to stability police who either replace or reinforce indigenous forces. And, the United States should support efforts by the European Gendarmerie Forces (EUROGENDFOR) to enable their deployment in support of European partners.

  • Investing in Our People, Capabilities and Visibility
    2018 Defence White Paper Investing in our people, capabilities and visibility 1 Foreword We present to you a realistic and future-oriented Defence White Paper, a white paper which we firmly believe constitutes a starting point for strengthening trust in the Defence organisation; the trust of our people, trust in our organisation and the trust of society in the Defence organisation. After decades of budget cuts, there are new prospects for the future of the Defence organisation. We are moving forward with a realistic point of view. The discussions conducted by the state secretary and myself gave us a first-hand impression of just how important this is. We discussed matters with individuals at all levels both within and outside our organisation. Those discussions will continue, because it is our people who are the strength of the Defence organisation! We wish to be transparent and reliable in what we do and what we achieve. We wish to be an attractive and reliable employer. We are working to firmly embed the Defence organisation as a whole in society. Above all, we are realistic. The additional investments will be used to take a major step forward. A step which we believe should become visible quickly. At the same time, however, we are aware that a process of building and strengthening takes time. We are making a good start and realise that we need to think in terms of long-term objectives. These long-term objectives are set out in this white paper. And that is because the Ministry of Defence protects what we value! Also for the State Secretary for Defence, THE MINISTER OF DEFENCE A.T.B.

  • 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.
