Transitions: Managing the Transfer of Security Responsibility
Abstract
Transition has become something of a buzz-word and the phrase is used widely. However it is often used in different ways by different communities and there is little consensus on what precisely is meant by the phrase. While its importance is not underestimated there is little guidance on how best to manage transitions so that they lead to a satisfactory and enduring outcome. This concept attempts to bring some coherence to its use and suggests some common approaches to how transitions can be analysed, planned and evaluated. The aim of this concept paper therefore is to provide an authoritative exposition of the term Transitions to provide a common source from which MNE6 nations can develop their own guidelines and doctrine. Version 2, this version, captures the findings from the three concept development workshops in Italy, Poland and Oslo in June, September and December 2009, discussions and inputs to the Transition Wiki as well as insights from reviews of literature and from papers commissioned specifically for MNE6. The concept will be updated following comments on this version and version 3 will provide the starting point for the limited objective experiment in Apr 2010.
