Summary

1. "Peoples and International Law is the most comprehensive current account of the right of self-determination in international law. The book examines the law of self-determination as the product of the interaction between nationalism and international law. This broad and interdisciplinary work charts this interaction through different aspects of the legal process - in international instruments, judicial decisions, legal obligations and historical context - critically and in extensive detail. The book is essential reading for those with an interest both in peoples' rights in international law and the study of nationalism."--BOOK JACKET.
