This volume features presentations from the November 2003 St. Petersburg Conference on "Peacekeeping in the CIS". The three-day conference, co-organised with the CIS Parliamentary Assembly Defence Committee and CPlS and funded by DCAF, was held at the historic Tavrichesky Palace. Exchanges on parliamentary involvement and oversight of peacekeeping were rounded off with discussions on security sector governance and civil society involvement in security sector reform. Especially welcome was the stimulating participation of representatives of the CIS Staff for Coordination of Military Cooperation.
