Strauss: The Viability of Territorial Leases in Resolving International Sovereignty Disputes

Michael J. Strauss (Centre d'Etudes Diplomatiques et Stratégiques - Geopolitics and International Relations) has published The Viability of Territorial Leases in Resolving International Sovereignty Disputes (L'Harmattan 2010). Here's the abstract:

States often lease territory from each other for economic or military reasons, but on rare occasions leases have been made with the objective of settling disputes about sovereignty. This book offers the first collective examination of cases in which states have attempted to resolve territorial conflicts this way. It assesses their success and examines the broader potential for leases where sovereignty is contested, particularly in the frontier zones of adjacent states.
