Intervention and state-building in the Pacific: The legitimacy of 'cooperative intervention'
Built on declared principles of partnership and respect for sovereignty, and successful in gaining legitimacy in the international community, the new model seems to offer a legitimate way to engage in state-building intervention. The 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. The book questions whether this 'cooperative intervention' is in danger of being seen as an un-negotiated form of neo-trusteeship or 'shared sovereignty', rather than a model which is conducted in the name of sovereignty and partnership. This analysis offers insight into the legitimacy issues confronting a new generation of state-building in which the intervening mission operates like a shadow government alongside the democratically elected sovereign government; in which peace-building and development agendas are blurred; and in which the engagement is sustained by security concerns around the war on terror
