This book articulates a systematic vision of an international legal
system grounded in the commitment to justice for all persons. It
provides a probing exploration of the moral issues involved in
disputes about secession, ethno-national conflict, 'the right of
self-determination of peoples,' human rights, and the legitimacy of
the international legal system itself. Buchanan advances vigorous
criticisms of the central dogmas of international relations and
international law, arguing that the international legal system
should make justice, not simply peace, among states a primary goal,
and rejecting the view that it is permissible for a state to
conduct its foreign policies exclusively according to what is in
the 'the national interest'. He also shows that the only
alternatives are not rigid adherence to existing international law
or lawless chaos in which the world's one superpower pursues its
own interests without constraints. This book not only criticizes
the existing international legal order, but also offers morally
defensible and practicable principles for reforming it. Justice,
Legitimacy, and Self-Determination will find a broad readership in
political science, international law, and political philosophy.
Oxford Political Theory presents the best new work in political
theory. It is intended to be broad in scope, including original
contributions to political philosophy and also work in applied
political theory. The series contains works of outstanding quality
with no restrictions as to approach or subject matter. Series
Editors: Will Kymlicka, David Miller, and Alan Ryan
