Closely examining the fight for survival undertaken by low-lying Pacific Island States, the author engages with the legal and policy innovations necessary to address these new scenarios. This monograph reacts against overly formal approaches to the law on statehood, and is devoted to the reconstruction of the context in which both the challenges, and the measures adopted to tackle them, are taking place. Progressively forged within the international community, it is the kind of political and ethical framework that will soon inform the potential transformation of the law on statehood.Legal aspects of sustainable development ;volume 22.Global warmingLaw and legislationSea levelSocial aspectsIslands of the PacificCoast changesSocial aspectsIslands of the PacificIslands of the PacificInternational statusGlobal warmingLaw and legislation.Sea levelSocial aspectsCoast changesSocial aspects341.26Torres Camprubí Alejandra1607838MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821700303321Statehood under water3934269UNINA
