Summary and discussion of findings

Chapter 7 analyses the negotiations in the policy field of police reform, where peacebuilders had invested high levels of international capacity. It traces in-depth the external-domestic interaction in the reforms of Municipal Community Safety Councils and Minority Community Policing and shows how ad hoc interaction tactics shaped the reform outcomes. The selectivity of international actors gave domestic actors leeway to ignore rules left out of the negotiation, leading to captured implementation in most cases.
