Decolonization of International Law - Craven, Matthew (Professor of International Law, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London)

Against the backdrop of decolonization and the territorial adjustments of the 1990s, the issue of state succession continues to be a vital and complex focal point for public international law. This book offers a pragmatic re-assessment of the foundations of the law of succession, assessing the attempts, and failures to achieve a codified body of law.
