Self-Determination in the New World Order

by Morton H. Halperin, David J. Scheffer, Patricia L. Small

Examining the dynamic movements for self-determination that are erupting around the world, this book considers the right and wisdom of intervention to support or oppose such movements and proposes policy guidance for the US government, particularly the criteria for support groups seeking self-determination for political recognition and for non-forcible and forcible interventions.
