The right of self-determination of peoples holds out the promise of
sovereign statehood for all peoples and a domination-free
international order. But it also harbors the danger of state
fragmentation that can threaten international stability if claims
of self-determination lead to secessions. Covering both the late
eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century independence movements in
the Americas and the twentieth-century decolonization worldwide,
this book examines the conceptual and political history of the
right of self-determination of peoples. It addresses the political
contexts in which the right and concept were formulated and the
practices developed to restrain its potentially anarchic character,
its inception in anti-colonialism, nationalism, and the labor
movement, its instrumentalization at the end of the First World War
in a formidable duel that Wilson lost to Lenin, its abuse by
Hitler, the path after the Second World War to its recognition as a
human right in 1966, and its continuing impact after
decolonization.
