International Law and the Rise of Nations - The State System and the Challenge of Ethnic Groups (Paperback, Revised Ed)

Among the significant consequences of the Cold War's end have been the rise of nations and the challenges that these nations pose for global order and international law. Taking a unique approach to explore this phenomenon, Beck and Ambrosio consider three principal themes: the emergence of nations, the international legal challenges that such nations pose, and international legal efforts to accommodate nations within the global state system.
