Sommario/riassunto

This comprehensive study of State failure upholds that the collapse of States in sub-Saharan Africa is a self-inflicted problem caused by the abandonment of the principle of effectiveness during decolonization. On the one hand, the abandonment of effectiveness may have facilitated the recognition of the new African States, but on the other it did lead to the creation of States that were essentially powerless: some of which became utter failures. Written in a style both provocative and unorthodox and using convincing arguments, this study casts doubt on some of the most sacred principles of the modern doctrine of international law. It establishes that the declaratory theory of recognition cannot satisfactorily explain the continuing existence of failed States. It also demonstrates that the principled assertion of the right to self-determination as the basis for independence in Africa has turned the notion of sovereignty into a formal-legal figment without substance. This book is a plea for more realism in international law. Pensive pessimists in the tradition of Hobbes will probably love it. Idealists in the tradition of Grotius may hate it, but they will find it very difficult to reject its conclusions.

Sommario/riassunto

The book provides sound knowledge of 3D imaging of dentofacial craniofacial region. It guides the students and faculty for understanding the dentofacial craniofacial region in depth. It incorporates the latest techniques, frameworks and technologies in the imaging area of oral health. The book emphasizes on the dentofacial and craniofacial region and thus fills the gap in the medical imaging literature. The development in this book is not only on the imaging techniques but also emphasis will be on the three-dimensional (3D) frameworks to deal the patients for their diagnosis and treatment planning. The chapters of this book are designed in such a way that the readers may get the complete package of the exploration of the imaging clinical applications of craniofacial areas. This book will be helpful not only for the students and faculty but also for the researchers working in the relevant areas. This book will provide easy, simple way but the most authentic material to learn the craniofacial region imaging. In this manual we will incorporates authentic, internationally accepted terms and definition. To make it interesting and simple, our approach is to incorporate the material in systematic manner in a simple and easy way by incorporating maximum illustrations and flowcharts. This book provides sound knowledge of various advanced technologies for dentist imaging. This book will highlights the importance and explore the current research in the dentofacial and craniofacial areas.
