Military occupation is a recurrent feature of modern international
politics and yet has received little attention from political
scientists. This book, newly available in paperback, 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.
