DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Der Ruf nach Selbstbestimmung hat die völkerrechtliche Diskussion des 20. Jahrhunderts geprägt. Das Selbstbestimmungskonzept bleibt aber auch im 21. Jahrhundert aktuell, ja es ist aktueller denn je. Weltweit werden unter Berufung auf das Selbstbestimmungsrecht Staatsgrenzen und ganze Staatswesen in Frage gestellt. Zahlreiche Völker rechtfertigen damit ihr Streben nach Eigenstaatlichkeit. Wie weit reicht nun dieser Anspruch nach geltendem Völkerrecht? Wer ist überhaupt Träger dieses Rechts? Auf diese und zahlreiche andere Fragestellungen rund um das Selbstbestimmungsrecht der Völker wird in diesem Band eingegangen, der Ergebnis einer internationalen Tagung auf Schloss Sigmundskron bei Bozen ist. In diesem Buch wird insbesondere aufgezeigt, dass das Selbstbestimmungsrecht der Völker zahlreiche Nuancen aufweist und differenziert eingesetzt auch eine beachtliche friedenssichernde Wirkung entfalten kann.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The right of peoples to self-determination seems well-settled and covered extensively in the scholarly record. Yet old Trotsky’s question – of whom is this right and to what? – haunts the self-determination literature. Somehow almost every work on it begins with an expression of puzzlement. This right turns out to be elusive, underdefined in its scope and content, paradoxical in almost every aspect. This book mobilises all powers of critical legal theory and modern philosophy to take the bull by its horns. Instead of ironing out the paradoxes, it aims to finally give them a proper explanation based on the concept of exception.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The theory of imperialism is usually associated with some of the ‘big names’ in the history of European Marxism, such as Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg, Rudolf Hilferding and Nikolai Bukharin, alongside whom the English Progressive John Hobson is usually mentioned. However, little is known about the development of Marxist theory on this subject besides the books of these figures. This volume assembles for the first time the main documents of the international debate on imperialism that took place in the Second International during the period 1898–1916. It assesses the contributions of the individual participants to the developing theory of imperialism, placing them in the context of contemporary political debates.

It argues that the implications of sovereignty are essentially democratic and pacific, even though political actors often interpret it in a crude and egoistic fashion.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This is a significant contribution to the worldwide discussion of political self-determination as a source of socio-cultural and political hope, conflict and confusion. Inspired by Martin Ennals, long the quietly visionary Director-General of Amnesty International, the book consists of cases and penetratingly definitive analyses, culminating in trenchant recommendations for action by world bodies. With self-determination intensely at issue so widely, from the former Yugoslavia to Kashmir to Quebec, this distinguished book by a global group of experts is particularly timely.
