Sovereignty in the Exercise of the Right to Self-Determination
Martinus Nijhoff (Verlag)
9789004316058 (ISBN)
Sovereignty in the Exercise of the Right to Self-Determination detangles the relationship between a number of principles of international law and the exercise of sovereign power. Jane Hofbauer’s assessment is conducted through an analysis of the different tiers of self-determination, ranging from the right to exercise external self-determination, the right to exercise forms of autonomy as a form of de facto independence, and the right to a type of ‘spatial’ independence, exemplified through the principles of permanent sovereignty over natural resources (PSNR), and free, prior and informed consent (FPIC).
The book not only highlights the (intentional) uncertainties within each of these principles, but identifies the (non-discretionary) limits to their normative evolution. It thereby explores to what extent (indigenous) peoples can be designated as sovereign entities.
Jane A. Hofbauer, LL.M. (2009), Dr. iur. (2015), University of Vienna, is postdoctoral researcher and lecturer at the Section for International Law and International Relations at the University of Vienna. She has published in the field of public international law, particularly on indigenous rights and international environmental law.
