The value of the book’s approach lies not only in a more nuanced understanding of self-determination’s legal history, but in excavating the multiple ways in which actors, particularly those from the Global South, have challenged the existing normative and legal structures which rendered them unequal under the European system of international law. Rethinking this process touches on issues that are relevant not only to debates about the enduring legacy of imperialism in our present, but also to contemporary discussions of the position self-determination has come to occupy in international law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  Table of Cases    Introduction   1\tRecovering Self-Determination’s History   2\tAn Aperture for Worldmaking   3\tOrganisation of the Book   4\tApproach    1 Self-Determination: Between Hierarchy and Equality   1\tSovereignty and Empire   2\tPopular Sovereignty and the Age of Revolution   3\tNational Self-Determination, Imperial Expansion and the Civilizing Mission    2 Renegotiating Sovereignty in the Interwar Period   1\tSelf-Determination as Political Strategy   2\tPost WWI Resettlement and “The New International Law”   3\tThe Aaland Islands Dispute   4 Quasi-Sovereigns: The Mandate and Trusteeship System    3 “One World” - Anticolonialism at the UN   1\tSelf-Determination and the New World Order   2\tContesting Empire at the UN   3\tAnti-Colonial Activism   4\tThe Colonial Declaration   5 The Boundaries of Independence    4 Remaking the World after Empire   1\tA New International Law   2\tStrengthening the Post-Colonial State   3\tEconomic Self-Determination and the New International Economic Order   4\tThe Human Rights Revolution and Self-Determination    5 Sovereignty and Self-Determination at the End of History   1\tNew and Old Claims   2\tAdjudicating Secession   3\tHuman Rights, Democracy and the New Standards of Sovereignty   4 Re-working Sovereignty: Minority and Indigenous Rights    Epilogue: Contesting Sovereignty  References  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210832437591,"sku":"9789004478589","price":143.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/reckoning-with-empire-self-determination-in-international-law-9789004478589","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
