Title: The OSCE’s Platform for Co-operative Security – An Opportunity for Multilateral Coherence
Author: Sandra Sacchetti
Abstract
The Platform for Co-operative Security was adopted as part of the 1999 Charter for European Security in order to strengthen cooperation between security organizations. Its full potential as an instrument for multilateral coherence, as envisaged by the text of the Charter, remains unexploited, however. This is due in part to the OSCE’s peripheral position in the European security architecture and in part to the competition for political influence and resources between international organizations. A more pragmatic approach towards the Platform could help surmount some of the complex political dynamics hampering its full implementation.
