German troops fighting the Taliban in the Hindu Kush; EU judges
sitting in courts in the Balkans; UN viceroys governing parts of
Oceania; American occupation of the Middle East. Amid the myriad
political experiences of the post-Cold War era, the historians of
the future are likely to pay particular attention to attempts by
outsiders to administer a host of post-conflict societies, to
perform physical and social reconstruction, to establish
functioning institutions, to open economies and, ultimately, to
transform the "maladjusted" political cultures of Africa, Asia and
the Middle East. Few developments in the two decades after 1989
were as revealing of the character of the international system, of
the gaps between liberal discourse and practice, and of the
fleeting nature of the Western hegemonic moment.
What made the new protectorates possible? What were they like as an
actual political experience? How contradictory was their reception?
Why was the process of governing others for their own good so
flawed and why were the outcomes so disappointing? These are among
the questions addressed by some of the leading authorities in the
field, including Stefan Halper, Christopher Clapham, Mats Berdal
and Richard Caplan.
