Baka offers a compelling critique not only of mainstream theories of self-determination, but also of the shortcomings of critical movements such as Critical Legal Studies. In their place, she advances a renewed ethical and conceptual framework for international law-one grounded in responsibility, rational judgment, and moral engagement. This interdisciplinary method brings fresh insight into questions of collective identity, legitimacy, and the moral accountability of law itself. Ultimately suggesting that meaningful responses to historical injustice require international jurists to cultivate intellectual independence and legal virtue, this is a timely and essential contribution for scholars and practitioners of international law, human rights, legal philosophy, and global justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Irene Baka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1666965154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666965155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Anna Irene Baka","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48066651914495,"sku":"9781666965155","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d456ac15-1b0f-4e94-807e-72b22edeaac9.jpg?v=1768679690","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/self-determination-beyond-liberal-legalism-anna-irene-baka-9781666965155","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
