{"product_id":"the-right-of-self-determination-of-peoples-9781107688209","title":"The Right of Self-Determination of Peoples","description":"The right of self-determination of peoples holds out the promise of sovereign statehood for all peoples and a domination-free international order. But it also harbors the danger of state fragmentation that can threaten international stability if claims of self-determination lead to secessions. Covering both the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century independence movements in the Americas and the twentieth-century decolonization worldwide, this book examines the conceptual and political history of the right of self-determination of peoples. It addresses the political contexts in which the right and concept were formulated and the practices developed to restrain its potentially anarchic character, its inception in anti-colonialism, nationalism, and the labor movement, its instrumentalization at the end of the First World War in a formidable duel that Wilson lost to Lenin, its abuse by Hitler, the path after the Second World War to its recognition as a human right in 1966, and its continuing impact after decolonization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jörg Fisch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.07h x 6.05w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107688209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFisch, Jörg:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Jörg Fisch is Professor Emeritus of Modern History at the University of Zurich.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMage, Anita:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Anita Mage is an academic translator and doctoral candidate in philosophy at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50530267791475,"sku":"9781107688209","price":68.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_73c1d6fe-2d55-4669-a3d3-c0e951099dcc.jpg?v=1790338378","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-right-of-self-determination-of-peoples-9781107688209","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
