商品簡介
Classical self-determination, narrowly conceived in the colonial context, cannot contribute to the resolution of the ongoing self-determination conflicts around the world, argues Weller (international law and international relations, U. of Cambridge), because there are no colonies of significance left on the planet. He reviews alternatives to the standard model that have been implemented since the conclusion of the Cold War, and considers their impact on the previously mono-dimensional view of self-determination. His topics include a concept of multiple meanings, trading self-determination for autonomy or enhanced self-governance, balancing self-determination claims, agreeing on self-determination but deferring implementation, and supervising independence.
