TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Statebuilding, Peacebuilding, Police and Policing in Solomon Islands JO - Journal of peacebuilding and development A1 - Greener, B.K. SP - 30 EP - 42 VL - 6 IS - 2 N2 - This article investigates the relationship between the statebuilding efforts currently emphasised as necessary for development and security in post-conflict settings, and the possibilities for broader peacebuilding efforts to be prioritised. It does this through an analysis of the push to form a centralised formal police force in the Solomon Islands where more informal sites of policing authority already exist. The paper suggests that the narrower emphasis on statebuilding as represented by a focus on the institutional rebuilding of police needs to be reoriented towards a focus on peacebuilding as represented by a more flexible approach to supporting sustainable broader forms of policing.
