with Matthias Neumann (University of East Anglia), Marci Shore (Yale University), Alexander Ilichevsky (Author), Félix Krawatzek (ZOiS)
|
|
|
|

by Johannes Socher
|
|
|
|
|
When it comes to the right of peoples to self-determination, Russia’s state practice attests to its complex relationship with this principle of international law. This is especially apparent from the inconsistencies in its handling of secessionist tendencies in the post-Soviet space.
