"John Ciorciari has written a wonderful work. Sovereignty sharing has been an approach that has not been given a proper name. Ciorciari not only provides excellent case studies, but he also shows why sovereignty sharing has been widely used and the limited conditions that make it likely to be successful."—Stephen D. Krasner, Stanford University "This extraordinary book combines insights and lessons for those who wish to understand the challenges of sovereignty sharing to promote the rule of law in fragile states. Meticulously researched, Sovereignty Sharing in Fragile States is an invaluable resource for scholars and practitioners. Highly recommended."—Richard Caplan, University of Oxford "Sovereignty Sharing in Fragile States is a first-rate piece of scholarship that offers a compelling answer to an important, but perennially perplexing, question: Why do 'shared sovereignty' arrangements fail so often—and under what conditions can they succeed?"—Roland Paris, University of Ottawa
