What happens when a government is overthrown? How is new governing body developed? Finally, which rights of the people need to be preserved in the process of state building? Dr. Zakia Afrin's book Tranasitional Authority in Iraq: Legitimacy, Governence and potential Contribution to the Progressive Development of International Law, addresses these issues in the case of post conflict Iraq's developing governing body. The analysis focuses on the composition, legal authority, and the effectiveness of the transitional powers in Iraq. A key point of focus is the development of the people's rights during new government's formation. This well researched book is a good guidence for students of international law and relations, and a practical tool for the international practitioners and political leaders in the exercise of government authority.
