Zusammenfassung:"Since the end of World War Two and the formation of the UN, the nature of warfare has undergone changes with many wars being "intra-state" wars or wars of secession. Whilst wars of succession do not involve the same number or type of combatants as in the last two World Wars, their potential for destruction and their danger for the international community cannot be underestimated. There are currently many peoples seeking independence from what they perceive as foreign and alien rulers including the Chechens, West Papuans, Achenese, Tibetans, and the Kurds. The break-up of Yugoslavia and the former USSR, together with recent conflicts in South Ossetia, reveal that the potential for future wars of secession remains high.This book explores the relationship between recognition, statehood and self-determination showing how self-determination continues to be relevant beyond European decolonisation.
