Nauru is often figured as an anomaly in the international order.
This book offers a new account of Nauru's imperial history and
examines its significance to the histories of international law.
Drawing on theories of jurisdiction and bureaucracy, it
reconstructs four shifts in Nauru's status - from German
protectorate, to League of Nations C Mandate, to UN Trust
Territory, to sovereign state - as a means of redescribing the
transition from the nineteenth century imperial order to the
twentieth century state system. The book argues that as
international status shifts, imperial form accretes: as Nauru's
status shifted, what occurred at the local level was a gradual
process of bureaucratisation. Two conclusions emerge from this
argument. The first is that imperial administration in Nauru
produced the Republic's post-independence 'failures'. The second is
that international recognition of sovereign status is best
understood as marking a beginning, not an end, of the process of
decolonisation.
