Medina, Elizabeth Ann. Operationalizing the Interagency Coordination Mechanisms between State and Department of Defense for Stabilization and Reconstruction Operations.

This thesis examines whether coordination between S/CRS and DoD provide a new U.S. government capability to translate policy into stabilization and reconstruction operations down to the tactical level, for the near term. This paper finds the S/CRS-DoD model strong on policy and planning, but insufficient on implementation.
