A regime for the democratic control of armed forces exists in the OSCE area (which stretches from Vancouver to Vladivostok) through a "Code of Conduct on Politico-Military Aspects of Security" (1994). This instrument, which links civil-military relations to human rights and international humanitarian law, has no counterpart in other security organizations. Intruding into an area of state power hitherto considered a sanctum sanctorum, it commits the OSCE member states to a regular exchange of information on the status of the democratic control of their armed forces, as well as on such issues as the fight against terrorism and the stationing of troops on foreign soil. The book represents an urgently needed reference work on both the contents and the impact of the Code; drawing on as-yet unpublished materials, it offers a paragraph-by-paragraph commentary on the Code, as well as an in-depth assessment of implementation trends in the OSCE region.

This book is the product of years of teaching experience in methodology of law in the capital of Europe, namely at the Law Faculty of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. The research guide focuses on how to find and use instruments of European regional organizations. It is mainly intended to be a practical instrument for students of an advanced level, lawyers and public servants who work in the field of European law. In a practical way, this book offers a detailed description on how to do research in sources of European law in the most efficient way. The different sources of European law are examined. The research guide gives an answer to a variety of questions one may be confronted with when dealing with European law. What are these sources? Where can I find them? And once I have found them, how do I read them? The main focus lies on the wide range of electronic databases on European law, although reference is also made to the traditional way of finding sources. The use of screenshots and clear examples make this book a very practical instrument so that every person who deals with European law on a permanent or occasional basis will value it as an extremely useful tool.

The OSCE is in crisis. There can be no doubt but that the OSCE today, as compared to its heyday during the Cold War and in the mid-1990s, is a far less visible landmark on the European institutional landscape than was formerly the case. This Chaillot Paper seeks to take stock for an EU audience of the background and the evolution of the OSCE, the nature of the crisis which it is currently experiencing, the views of important participating states and the potential for the organisation's reform. The crisis of the OSCE matters to other actors of the European security environment for various reasons. Due to its distinctive composition (comprising 55 participating states from Europe and North America), it has a geographical reach that is more wide-ranging than that of other European and Euro-Atlantic institutions, and a broad security mandate. The OSCE is therefore an important actor on the European security scene at a time when most security problems extend beyond the traditional inter-state realm and notwithstanding the fact that other organisations - primarily the EU - are gradually extending their activity to the same field
