Particularly prominent among these are issues concerning the right to democracy within international law, self-determination, recognition of newly installed governments, the use of force for humanitarian purposes, protection of human rights, and the prosecution of international crimes. This important volume brings together a multitude of fresh voices, and as events in the Arab world continue to unfold, is certain to make a valuable contribution to a meaningful understanding of the “Arab Spring” from a constitutional and international law perspective.Nijhoff law specials ;82.Conflict of lawsPublic policyArab countriesArab Spring, 2010-International lawDemocracyDemocratizationArab countriesHistory21st centuryRevolutionsArab countriesHistory21st centuryArab countriesPolitics and government21st centuryElectronic books.Conflict of lawsPublic policyArab Spring, 2010-International law.Democracy.DemocratizationHistoryRevolutionsHistory909/.097492708312Panara Carlo518513Wilson GaryDr.751667MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463212603321The Arab spring2067619UNINA
