The international administration of troubled states - whether in Bosnia, Kosovo,        or East Timor - has seen a return to the principle of trusteeship; that is when some        form of international supervision is required in a particular territory in order        both to maintain order and to foster the norms and practices of fair        self-government. This innovative study rescues the normative discourse of        trusteeship from the obscurity into which it has fallen since decolonization. It        traces thedevelopment of trusteeship from its emergence out of debates concerning        the misrule of the East India Company; its internationalization in imperial Africa;        its institutionalization in the League of Nations mandates system, and, then, in the        United Nations trusteeship system; and the destruction of itslegitimacy by the ideas        of self-determination and human equality.No other book brings this rich historical        experience to bear on the dilemmas posed by the resurrection of trusteeship after        the end of the Cold War. It is with a view to contemporary world problems that this        book explores the obligations that attach to preponderant power and the limits that        should be observed in exercising that power for the sake of global good. The book        concludes by arguing that trusteeship remains fundamentally at odds with the ideas        of human dignity andequality.
