Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
'This is a fascinating and insightful collection of essays from a distinguished set of authors. It examines the international trusteeship of troubled territories from a wide and complimentary set of angles: historical and contemporary, tactical and strategic, theoretical and practical.'--Iain King, co-author, Peace at any Price: How the World Failed Kosovo 'The editors turn a critical eye on the role of external actors in post-war societies. [ - ] Both optimistic and skeptical readers will find evidence to suit their arguments in this important volume; but the balance of evidence will better suit the pessimists. Practitioners would do well to read it closely.' -- Bruce Jones, Director and Senior Fellow of the Center on International Cooperation, NYU and Senior Fellow and Director of the Managing Global Insecurity Program at the Brookings Institution. 'A tremendously exciting volume, drawing both on history and on theory, in assessing, unsentimentally, a set of post-colonial variants of the protectorates of old. The authors are well chosen, their essays both acute and literate. The introduction is a model of lucidity, concision and depth. This book represents a major contribution to the literature of international relations.' -- David M. Malone, President, International Development Research Centre, Ottawa, 'This is a valuable, timely and authoritative examination of the causes and failures of western-led humanitarian interventionism in the post-Cold War period. The authors conclude that if nation-building on the lines of a liberal state, politically free and economically open, was impossible in Bosnia and Kosovo in Europe, it was even more unlikely to be viable, let alone to be perceived as legitimate, in Iraq, Afghanistan or Libya.' -- Krishnan Srinivasan, former Foreign Secretary, Government of India and Deputy Secretary General of the Commonwealth Read more...
