4. Dissertation Topic
"On the Legitimacy of International Transitional Administrations" (Working Title)
"In places like Bosnia, Kosovo or East Timor, international transitional administrations (ITAs) have been established in the wake of armed conflict. Their declared purpose has been to stabilize a fragile peace and facilitate the transition towards a democratic society. So far, the majority of the research has focused on the practical challenges that these administrations face. Beyond that, however, ITAs raise fundamental normative questions: Is it justifiable to promote human rights and democracy by means of foreign occupation? What are legitimate goals of ITAs? Which morally relevant interests are at stake here? And how can one bridge the gap between ideal political philosophy and the non-ideal practice of ITAs?"
