This report identifies and explains the determinants of police
reform in former Soviet states by examining the cases of Georgia
and Kyrgyzstan. The two cases were chosen to show two drastically
different approaches to reform played out in countries facing
arguably similar problems with state-crime links, dysfunctional
governments, and corrupt police forces. In Georgia, the
government's reform program has fundamentally transformed the
police, but it also reinforced the president Mikhail Saakashvili
regime's reliance on the police. With two political regime changes
in one decade, Kyrgyzstan's failed reform effort led to increasing
levels of corruption within law enforcement agencies and the rise
of violent nonstate groups. The experiences of Georgia and
Kyrgyzstan show that a militarized police force is unlikely to
spontaneously reform itself, even if the broader political
landscape becomes more democratic.
