The existing literature either tends to conflate self-determination and democracy or dismisses the legal relevance of the emerging practice on the basis that democracy is not a statehood criterion. Such arguments are simplistic. The statehood criteria in contemporary international law are largely irrelevant and do not automatically or self-evidently determine whether or not an entity has emerged as a new state. The question to be asked, therefore, is not whether democracy has become a statehood criterion. The emergence of new states is rather a law-governed political process in which certain requirements regarding the type of a government may be imposed internationally. And in this process the introduction of a democratic political system is equally as relevant or irrelevant as the statehood criteria. The book demonstrates that via the right of self-determination the law of statehood requires state creation to be a democratic process, but that this requirement should not be interpreted too broadly. The democratic process in this context governs independence referenda and does not interfere with the choice of a political system."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aStudies in international law (Oxford, England) 606 $aDemocracy 606 $aInternational law 606 $aSelf-determination, National 606 $aState, The 606 $2Public international law 615 0$aDemocracy. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aSelf-determination, National. 615 0$aState, The. 676 $a341.26 700 $aVidmar$b Jure$0524011 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787589803321 996 $aDemocratic Statehood in International Law$9831062 997 $aUNINA
