State-building intervention in weak, war-torn or failing states has
become a priority for the international community. However, the
question of how to legitimately engage in the shaping of national
governance remains, at the very least, a vexed one. This book
explores this key issue through a critical examination of a new
model of state-building intervention which has recently emerged in
relation to the Pacific 'arc of crisis'. Initiated by the
Australian Government in 2003, this 'cooperative intervention'
doctrine, built on declared principles of partnership and respect
for sovereignty, seems to offer a legitimate way to engage in
state-building intervention. Drawing on a group of distinguished
Pacific specialists, this book mounts a critique of these claims,
showing how international legitimacy does not automatically
translate into political legitimacy among those in the affected
societies; and how the attempt to legitimise the intervention
internationally may actually work against such legitimacy in the
recipient state. These insights will be of value to those
interested in public policy studies, international law, development
studies and international relations. -- .
