Synopsis

Arguing that military occupation must be treated as a distinct form of government, Peter Stirk assesses the key trends in the development of military occupations over the last two centuries. He explores the key issues for occupied countries, from the role of civilian governors and the process of regime transformation to the concepts of sovereignty and justice, and explains the conceptual and practical difficulties encountered by occupying powers. He draws examples from 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.
