The Shifting Allocation of Authority in International Law
International law is fragmented and complex, and at the same time increasingly capable of shaping reality in areas as diverse as human rights, trade and investment, and environmental law. The increased influences of international law and its growing institutionalization and judicialization invites reconsideration of the question how should the authority to make and interpret international law be allocated among states, international organizations and tribunals, or in other words, ""who should decide what"" in a system that formally lacks a central authority? This is not only a juridical questi.
Autonomy
From Chechnya to Bosnia, from the Kurds to the Palestinians, demands for separatism are fueling bitter and bloody conflicts. Yet, as this innovative study demonstrates, disputes between central governments and independence-minded minorities need not always escalate into violence and secession. Autonomy, by virtue of its essential adaptability, can offer a workable and peaceful compromise.Ruth Lapidoth first dissects the concept of autonomy, exploring its origins, examining the roles it can play, and distinguishing among its types. With scrupulous objectivity, she then presents more than a dozen richly documented case studies of autonomy in action. Drawn from four continents and detailing failures as well as successes, these studies underline autonomy s variety and versatility. Lapidoth s pragmatic approach and impeccable scholarship frame the issues and lay out the factors likely to foster successful outcomes."
Jerusalem
Covering a range of critical subjects, the essays in Jerusalem: A City and Its Future address practical issues of concern and offer possible solutions for peace in Jerusalem. The perspectives are unique and many have never been published for a wider audience. Contributors consider aspects of the "politics of religion"—an issue rarely explored objectively in existing literature—as well as issues of law and politics, law and religion, the Temple Mount, and law and governance.
Identity and Territorial Autonomy in Plural Societies
