The Recognition of States

Více o knize

The book delves into the Great Debate surrounding state recognition, highlighting its decline and exploring modern trends in international law that sustain its relevance. Grant challenges the prevailing declaratory view of recognition, suggesting that judicial sources often cited do not support it as strongly as believed. He argues that the contemporary preference for declaratory doctrine aligns with aspirations for a more regulated international governance, which minimizes state discretion in defining statehood.
