Justice and Foreign Rule [electronic resource] : On International Transitional Administration /
Jacob, D.author.
Can foreign rule be morally justified? Since the end of the First World War, international transitional administrations have replaced dysfunctional states to create the conditions for lasting peace and democracy. In response to extreme state failure, the author argues, this form of foreign rule is not only justified, but a requirement of justice.
