International trusteeship and the civilizing mission never ended
with the self-determination entitlement that led to decolonization
in the second half of the 20th century. International
organizations, whose modern form emerged during the height of
colonialism, took on this role in the "post-colonial" era,
internationalizing trusteeship and re-legitimizing it as a feature
of international public policy into the bargain. Through analysis
of the history of and purposes associated with the involvement of
international organizations in territorial administration, such as
the recent UN missions in Kosovo and East Timor, a comparison
between this activity and colonial trusteeship, the Mandates and
Trusteeship arrangements, and an exploration of the modern ideas of
international law and public policy that underpin and legitimize
contemporary interventions, this book relates a new history of the
concept of international trusteeship.
From British colonialist Lord Lugard's "dual mandate" to the High
Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina Lord Ashdown's
"state-building" agenda, wide-ranging links between the complex
peace operations of today and the civilizing mission of the
colonial era are established, offering a historical, political and
legal framework within which the legitimacy of and challenges faced
by complex interventions can be appraised. This new history of
international trusteeship raises important questions about the role
of international law and organizations in facilitating relations of
domination and tutelage, and necessitates a re-evaluation of the
current significance of the self-determination entitlement.
