Globalisation has increased the degree to which localised instability has become an international problem.  The links between security, stability and development are increasingly apparent.  The need to establish and maintain stability is paramount for countries emerging from conflict. Transitional states and international donors also recognise the need for quick and effective responses to instability.  However, budgetary demands on governments often prevent the development of sufficient internal capacity to respond effectively.
