The Morality of Military Occupation

This book presents an original and authoritative account of how and why the United States, with the help of its Western allies, under strictly defined principled conditions may be authorized to exercise temporary military occupation of certain countries in order to achieve geo-political global order and lasting peace. A principled policy of military occupation of incorrigible rogue states can put a halt to the anarchical state of the global commons. Key features include: - Understanding what a contemporary moral enforcer of human rights looks like - Learning how and why military occupation becomes a human rights obligation - Gaining a deep understanding of the role ordinary citizens can play in enforcing human rights The book lays the groundwork for a new moral American foreign policy where such occupations may, under certain conditions, be a human rights obligation
