The sovereignty paradox : the norms and politics of international statebuilding by Dominik Zaum

"Zaum's normative analysis is a refreshing addition to the developing ITA [(international territorial administration)] canon."--International Affairs"A growing array of international groups and organizations are now devoted to state building, and scholars are slowing developing a body of knowledge on its theory and practice. This book helps illuminate these efforts by looking at the ideas and norms that inform the activities of international agencies as they engage local actors."- Foreign Affairs
