4 Credits,  Semester 1

Course Description:
Is it possible to establish the conditions for legitimate and sustainable national governance through a period of benevolent foreign autocracy? This seminar explores the emergence of international administration of territory from colonial administration and military occupation to more recent efforts to govern post-conflict territories. This new governance practice makes it important to analyse and refine the rules and institutions that channel and constrain the exercise of such powers, and to strengthen the remedies available when it is abused.
