U radu se obrađuje koncept mirovnih operacija koji se razvijao u okvirima Ujedinjenih naroda i do danas je najvidljivija aktivnost koja se poduzima s ciljem održavanja međunarodnog mira i sigurnosti. U novije vrijeme u provedbi kompleksnih mirovnih operacija sudjeluju razne međunarodne organizacije i institucionalni dionici, uključujući i civilnu policiju sastavljenu od policijskih službenika iz različitih zemalja. U radu se analiziraju organizacijski oblici i poslovi u kojima sudjeluju policijski službenici kao pripadnici međunarodnih mirovnih operacija. Na primjeru studije slučaja Istočnog Timora istražit će se kakvo je mjesto i ulogu imala policijska komponenta u provedbi sedam međunarodnih operacija različitih tipova i profila na teritoriju ove države u razdoblju od 1999. do 2012. godine. ; This paper analyses the concept of peacekeeping operations which was developed within the United Nations and which has been the most visible activity implemented in order to maintain international peace and security. More recently, the implementation of multidimensional peacekeeping operations includes the cooperation of various international organizations and institutional actors, including the civilian police composed of police officers from different countries. The paper analyses the organizational forms and activities carried out by police officers who are members of international peacekeeping operations. Based on the case study example of East Timor, the analysis will include the position and roles that the police component had in the implementation of seven different types and profiles of international peacekeeping operations on the territory of this country in the period from 1999 to 2012.

The contrast in responses to Milosevic's aggression toward Bosnia & Saddam Hussein in Iraq under the Blair government in GB is instructive: discussed is the extent to which media coverage of the wars of Yugoslavia affected official policy toward, variously, Croatian secession & war, Bosnia, & Kosovo. Reviewed are several leftist analyses of Western reaction to the Yugoslav crises, among them N. Chomsky's A New Generation Draws the Line: Kosovo, East Timor and the Standards of the West (London: Verso, 2000), P. Hammon & E. S. Herman's Degraded Capability: the Media and the Kosovo Crisis (London: Pluto, 2000), & M. Parenti's To Kill a Nation: The Attack on Yugoslavia (London: Verso, 2000). A. Siegel
