    Specialized Police Teams in UN Peace Operations: A Survey of Progress and Challenge
    This report analyses Specialized Police Teams (SPTs) deployed in UN missions meant for capacity building of local forces, in contrast with individually seconded officers and formed police units meant for enforcement. It first describes the benefits of SPTs in their results-focused capacity building, then goes into the challenges faced in their composition and deployment due to issues of supply, funding, and consistency before concluding with recommendations for the Secretariat, missions, and MS. As Civilian CSDP missions also move forward with Specialised Teams of a similar kind, the benefits, flaws, and proposed solutions for the UN provide good lessons to take into account.

    Crisis and Transformative Learning in Communities of Practice: Semi-Formal Learning in CSDP during COVID-19
    This research article discusses how COVID-19 temporarily created a radical change in the lessons learnt process of CSDP. Using the theoretical framework of Communities of Practice (CoPs), in this case the agencies, EEAS directorates, missions, and other workplace communities and venues for interaction within the CSDP architecture, the researchers find that the pandemic decreased the political contestation between CoPs and created a high-engagement environment where lessons were freely shared among CoPs as they were learned, with PCM (then-ISP) as the knowledge broker.
