O knihe

This Book deals with the right of self- determination in its historic and contemporary perspective. By offering an unbeatable combination of clarity of expression and academic rigor, the author ensures both understanding and critical analysis. The Book has been updated to reflect the Kurdish case for statehood in Iraq. It offers a good introduction to the more theoretical approaches to the right of self-determination in the post-colonial era. At its searing best the book demonstrates how the right of self-determination should normally be exercised within the framework of existing State, whereas the right of external self-determination appears under carefully defined circumstances. It demonstrates that the old restrictive doctrine of self-determination does not help resolve the issue in the post-colonial era. Neither does exaggerating the problem. Accordingly, as a remedial approach, 'Remedial Earned Sovereignty' has been adopted to offer alternative short of secession if it can be avoided or as a step toward independence where it is investable. 'An exceptional book on a controversial and relevant subject today.' 'A very important book, a powerful book that will stay with you.
