description: The international administration of troubled states - whether in Bosnia, Kosovo, or East Timor - has seen a return to the principle of trusteeship; that is when some form of international supervision is required in a particular territory in order both to maintain order and to foster the norms and practices of fair self-government. Drawing on history, law, and international relations theory, William Bain presents an authoritative and forceful account of this crucial and misunderstood phenomenon.
