{"product_id":"9781108735834","title":"Internal Self-Determination in International Law: History, Theory, and Practice","description":"Internal self-determination is an under-explored topic in international law. It is popularly understood to be a principle of relatively recent origin, promoting democratic freedoms to populations and autonomy for minority groups within states. It has also been viewed as a principle receiving the support of Western states, in particular. In this first book-length critical study of the topic, the reader is invited to rethink the history, theory and practice of internal self-determination in a complex world. Kalana Senaratne shows that it is a principle of great, but varied, potential. Internal self-determination promises democratic freedoms and autonomy to peoples; but it also represents an idea which is not historically new, and is ultimately a principle which can be promoted for different and conflicting purposes. Written in a clear and accessible style, this book will be of interest to international lawyers, state-officials, minority groups, and students of law and politics.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46381409403121,"sku":"9781108735834","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781108735834_p0.jpg?v=1765140220","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781108735834","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
