This book examines the scope and applicability of political self-determination beyond the decolonisation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplaining the historical evolution of self-determination, this book provides a theoretical examination of the concept and background. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the author analyses self-determination in relation to contemporary conflicts, which inform and drive a coherent theoretical framework for international responses to claims for self-determination. Built upon an examination of the conceptual foundations of self-determination, this book presents a new understanding and application of self-determination. It addresses the important question of whether self-determination claims legitimate armed violence, either by the self-determining group's right to rebel, or by the international community in the form of humanitarian intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Politics of Self-Determination will be of interest to students and scholars of political science, international relations, security studies and conflict studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristina Roepstorff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415520649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415520645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Kristina Roepstorff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086345482495,"sku":"9780415520645","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f260938a-730f-47ac-83f8-6bbc50a59e32.jpg?v=1769094163","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-self-determination-kristina-roepstorff-9780415520645","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
