The agenda of the civilian police mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina evolved quite dramatically since its creation in 1996 under the framework of Annex 11 of the Dayton Peace Accord (DPA). Under the UN (1996–2002), the CIVPOL mission shifted from an initial programme centred on individuals—the micro level—with projects such as training, code of conduct, recruitment, and vetting, to an internal reorganization of all police forces of the country—the meso level—with activities centred on democratization, depolitization, internal control, and accreditation. After the European Union took over the CIVPOL mission on January 1, 2003, the agenda became no longer ‘democratization’ but macro issues of ‘nation‐building’ and financial sustainability. In the process, the DPA has lost its normative and reference character and has been substituted by the logic of the Realpolitik of influence in the region by the European Union. The paper explains this change of agenda with a set of three factors: (1) mission cycle, (2) changing role of international actors and agency style, and (3) the local configuration of power.
