John R Campbell

Nationalism, Law and Statelessness

Grand Illusions in the Horn of Africa

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book provides a unique in-depth, long-term case study of the vulnerability of stateless persons in their country of origin and in the West. It explores international refugee law and its failure to address the rights of stateless persons, and the power of nation-states and their ability to strip individuals of their nationality (and most socio-political basic rights) and enunciate new 'norms of citizenship' which exclude certain categories of persons from the right of citizenship.
