Summary:"Internal self-determination is an under-explored topic in international law. Popularly understood as a principle of recent origin, promoting democratic governance to populations and greater autonomy to minority groups within states, it is its application, in a world dominated by sovereign states, that has been considered as the main challenge. However Internal Self-Determination in International Law invites the reader to critically rethink the history, theory and practice of internal self-determination in a complex world. It is a principle which promises democratic freedoms to peoples; it is also an idea with a long history, having the potential of being promoted for undemocratic purposes. The book is a comprehensive study of the historical development of the principle of internal self-determination, its theoretical scope and how the principle gets practiced within states. In this regard, the book examines the case studies of Sri Lanka and Hong Kong. Internal Self-Determination in International Law is the first detailed and critically oriented examination of internal self-determination"--
