Post-Conflict Stability Operations and the Department of State

Abstract

This paper will review the formation and initial activities of the Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization (S/CRS), U.S. Department of State. The paper will evaluate the progress of this new office, which was created to coordinate and standardize U.S. Government reconstruction and stabilization mechanisms. The office is intended to serve as the central tasking organization for U.S. Government-wide assistance to societies recovering from war or severe civil disorder. The paper will review S/CRS and Department of Defense (DoD) undertakings with the objective of determining whether the new bureaucratic structure has succeeded thus far.
