Peoples and International Law (The Erik Castrén Institute Monographs on International Law and Human Rights) James Summers 2 Revised edition

"Peoples and International Law" is the most comprehensive current account of the right of self-determination in international law. The book examines the law of self-determination as the product of the interaction between nationalism and international law. This broad and interdisciplinary work charts this interaction through different aspects of the legal process in international instruments, judicial decisions, legal obligations and historical context critically and in extensive detail. The book is essential reading for those with an interest both in peoples rights in international law and the study of nationalism.
