This study primarily hypothesized that if UNPOL becomes a learning organization, it will be able to better implement the principles of democratic policing in post-conflict environments. Data was collected through a web based survey on UNPOL officers and semi-structured interviews with UNPOL policy makers at the headquarters and in some mission environments. The study found some empirical link between organizational learning and democratic policing within the UNPOL context. Several related issues were also examined and analyzed in the study.346 pagesenCopyright 2012 Kutluer KarademirPublic policyDemocratic policingMixed-methodsOrganizational learningPeacekeepingUNPOLDissertation
