Civilian Crisis Management: term used in the EU to describe non-military crisis management within the EU Comprehensive Approach for Safety and Security Politics. The term has arisen at the Helsinki Summit in 1999 as a result of the need to establish coordination mechanisms for dealing with crises in EU and the EU member states. The European Council has set four priority areas of CCM in 2000: police, rule of law, civil administration, civil protection. Security Sector Reform: The security system of a country can generally be described as a set of institutions and other actors that have a role in achieving security of the state and its citizens. This system is divided into several sectors that have a specific meaning and state security role: institutions that perform surveillance functions and manage security (the Government, Parliament, defense forces, police, foreign affairs bodies and advisory bodies); key security actors (armed forces, the police, the gendarmerie, intelligence services, border police, customs and local security forces); law enforcement institutions, including those which are under the competence of the Ministry of Justice: prisons, the judiciary and the courts. Within the Security Sector Reform, the following issues are addressed: democratic control and accountability, defense reforms, reforms of intelligence and security services, integrated border management, police reforms, judiciary reforms, reforms of prisons, private security and military agencies/companies and the civil society. OECD DAC Guidelines on SSR indicate that there are three related issues that states need to address: (1) the establishment of a clear framework of security institutions serving as a link between security policy and developmental policy, (2) the strengthening of the governance of the security institutions (security governance) and (3) the building of the capable and professional security forces responsible to civilian institutions. We distinguish three generations of security sector reform (first generation) establishment of institutions and determining of their delegated power; (second generation) reform of the first generation in order to achieve efficiency and strengthen institutions and (third generation) a greater efficiency of the national institutions and cooperation with international institutions in order to deal with the new security challenges.
