This study is an inquiry into the place of the right\u003cbr\u003eof conquest in international relations since the early sixteenth century, and the causes and consequences of its demise in the twentieth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart 1 examines the theoretical foundations of the right of conquest, its historical importance both in the establishment of the European colonial empires and in the relations between the European states themselves, and provides an analysis of the traditional law of conquest. Part 2 shows how the\u003cbr\u003eFirst World War, which led to the rise of self-determination and to calls for the prohibition of aggressive war, prompted the reconstruction of international law and the consequent rejection of the right of conquest. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA number of case studies of the seizure of territory since 1945 - including East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, Goa, the Falkland Islands, East Timor, and Kuwait - are used to evaluate the content and effectiveness of the modern law. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDr Korman concludes by examining the merits and defects of the abolition of the right of conquest from the standpoints of international order and justice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Right of Conquest has been widely praised. It was quoted in the International Court of Justice in 2004, in submissions supporting the UN General Assembly's request for an Advisory Opinion on the legality of Israel's construction of the Separation Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sharon Korman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarendon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 5.66w x 1.03d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198280071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Sharon Korman\u003c\/strong\u003e read International Relations as a Rhodes Scholar at Balliol College, Oxford.
