Statehood and the State-Like in International Law by Rowan Nicholson (English) H

Description: Statehood and the State-Like in International Law by Rowan Nicholson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book sets out to answer the question of when a political entity becomes a state in international law, one of the foundational questions of the discipline. Publisher Description If the term were given its literal meaning, international law would be law between nations. It is often described instead as being primarily between states. But this conceals the diversity of the nations or state-like entities that have personality in international law or that have had it historically. This book reconceptualizes statehood by positioning it within that wider family of state-like entities. In this monograph, Rowan Nicholsoncontends that states themselves have diverse legal underpinnings. Practice in cases such as Somalia and broader principles indicate that international law provides not one but two alternative methods ofqualifying as a state. Subject to exceptions connected with territorial integrity and peremptory norms, an entity can be a state either on the ground that it meets criteria of effectiveness or on the ground that it is recognized by all other states. Nicholson also argues that states, in the strict legal sense in which the word is used today, have never been the only state-like entities with personality in international law. Others from the past and present include imperial China in the periodwhen it was unreceptive to Western norms; precolonial African chiefdoms; states-in-context, an example of which may be Palestine, which have the attributes of statehood relative to states thatrecognize them; and entities such as Hong Kong.
