Description

Review "A cohesive and academically rigorous examination of the role and potential role of international law in ethnic disputes." Source: Nationalism and Ethnic Politics"A first-rate volume.... The fourteen contributors are well-informed, measured, and at times provocative.... The authors' careful melding of theoretical issues and broadly conceived analyses of policy responses make their volume a worthy addition to the literature." Source: Choice"Arguments advanced by the various authors in this book bring into sharp relief many of the questions that will continue to be posed as we enter the twenty-first century, and they offer a valuable framework for policy debates among lawyers, politicians, military strategists, and the new breed of conflict resolution experts." Author: Hurst Hannum, Tufts University"Highly readable, extremely well put together, and makes a real contribution to the debate on how to deal with ethnic conflict." Source: International Affairs"The essays compiled by David Wippman in International Law and Ethnic Conflict remind us of the fragility of the premises of the new international legal regime that our generation and the one that follows are destined to create. It is without our power, as political beings and as participants in the genesis of that regime, to stamp out the arrogance threatens its―and by extension, our―survival. If there is a moral imperative for international lawyers in our age, it lies here." Source: Human Rights & Human Welfare"This is a good book by the top international legal scholars." Source: Ethnic Conflict Research Digest"Under David Wippman's able editorship, this book is a useful work that constitutes a significant contribution to scholarship in the field of international law and ethnic conflict." Author: Richard B. Bilder, University of Wisconsin Product Description The breakup of the former Yugoslavia demonstrates the limitations of international law in the face of ethnic conflict. The contributors to this book examine the various roles international law and international institutions play in dealing with ethnic conflict. International Law and Ethnic Conflict first covers general philosophical, historical, and cultural issues arising from attempts to apply international law to ethnic conflict. The authors assess the legitimacy of demands based on group identity, the legal rights of ethnic groups, the validity of various entitlement claims, and the meaning of statehood. They then consider the institutional and policy responses of international organizations and states in their attempts to deal with ethnic conflict and analyze the extent to which various forms of intervention prove successful. About the Author David Wippman is Vice Provost for International Relations at Cornell University and the coauthor of International Law: Norms, Actors, Process.
