Policing the Neighbourhood: Australian Police Peace-keeping, Capacity-building, and Development in Timor-Leste, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea

澳大利亚对近海治安的参与正在迅速增长。东帝汶和所罗门群岛，以及不久的巴布亚新几内亚，都在这些事态发展中占据重要地位。澳大利亚联邦警察现在是区域安全和发展的关键参与者。这项研究总结了这一趋势。通过三个案例研究，该项目审查了提供援助的理由、提供援助的不同文化和政治背景、援助的形式以及以往和现在的警察援助任务的成就和不足。它还将为今后这类性质的接触提供一个分析框架。

Australia's involvement in policing offshore is growing rapidly. Timor-Leste and the Solomon Islands, and shortly, Papua New Guinea, feature in these developments. The Australian Federal Police is now a key player in regional security and development. This study takes stock of this trend. Through three case studies, the project examines the grounds for providing assistance, the different cultural and political contexts in which assistance is taking place, the forms of that assistance, and the achievements and shortcomings of previous and current police assistance missions. It will also provide an analytical framework for future engagements of this nature.
