Building rule of law capacity in a transitional state: lessons from the Australian criminal justice assistance programme in Cambodia 1997-2007

澳大利亚海外援助最近强调，为更好的治理和安全提供资金是减贫和经济发展的先决条件。这项研究评估了一项旨在加强柬埔寨等脆弱国家法治的长期法律援助方案的有效性。脆弱国家的警察改革常常失败，CCJAP在过去10年中吸取的经验教训将有助于我们了解改善脆弱国家安全和治理所需的最佳做法和战略。加强国际执法合作的能力建设努力，特别是在反恐和跨国犯罪方面的合作，将从这一审查中受益。

Australian overseas aid has recently stressed funding better governance and security as pre-requisites to poverty reduction and economic development. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a long term legal assistance programme designed to strengthen the rule of law in a fragile state such as Cambodia. Police reform in fragile states has often failed and lessons learnt by the CCJAP over the past 10 years will contribute to our knowledge about the best practices and strategies needed to improve security and governance in fragile states. Capacity building efforts to improve international law enforcement cooperation, especially in regard to counter-terrorism and transnational crime, will benefit from this review.
