Military occupation is a recurrent feature of modern international
politics and yet has received little attention from political
scientists. This book sets out to remedy this neglect, offering:
*an account of military occupation as a form of government *an
assessment of key trends in the development of military occupations
over the last two centuries *an explanation the conceptual and
practical difficulties encountered by occupiers *examples drawn
from, amongst others, the First and Second World Wars, US
occupations in Latin America and Japan, the Israeli occupation of
the West Bank, and the current occupation of Iraq. After a survey
of the evolving practice and meaning of military occupation the
book deals with its contested definitions, challenging restrictive
approaches that disguise the true extent of the incidence of
military occupation. Subsequent chapters explain the diverse forms
that military government within occupation regimes take on and the
role of civilian governors and agencies within occupation regimes;
the significance of military occupation for our understanding of
political obligation; the concept of sovereignty; the nature and
meaning of justice; and our evaluation of regime transformation
under conditions of military occupation.
