Reviews

<br> Wilde's writing and arguments are compelling and force us to think critically and deeply about the way in which states and the international community can engage with one another for the betterment and advancement of all. <br>--Lindsey Cameron and Rebecca Everly <br>Global Law Books, www.globallawbooks.org <br><p><br>


`'Dr. Wilde's review of the nature and purposes of international territorial administration is definitely a must read. Dr. Wilde has carried out extensive and well documented analysis of this mechanism demonstrating his deep knowledge of international territorial administration projects. The link made between international territorial administration projects and other institutions of international law which are now seen as illegitimate (e.g. colonialism) raises very interesting and important questions about the legitimacy of contemporary international territorial administration projects. This is definitely an element to be considered to ensure that this practice remains acceptable to the international community. ' Vincent Roobaert, NATO Legal Gazette `... an admirably thorough analysis of ITA, which takes account of all the major scholarship on the subject, together with a highly original though not entirely uncontentious interpretation of this intriguing historical phenomenonit endeavours-and succeeds-in shifting our perspective on a familiar topic. It is an important book that deserves wide readership.' Richard Caplan, University of Oxford, The British Yearbook of International Law, issue 79
