- The research, analysis and writing of this monograph was conducted over 16 years. It involved multiple trips to investigate the international administration in Kosovo and to research the Special Court for Sierra Leone, and 3 years of fieldwork in Sri Lanka. The analysis combines attention to the specificity of each case study with in-depth conceptual work on extensive debates over universalism, colonialism and cultural relativism to develop a sustained argument concerning international law and the wide, complex range of practices of human rights which they produce or to which they contribute.
