Abstract "An examination of the undercurrents of statehood and sovereign integrity vis- a-vis the State of Palestine, Taiwan, and Western Sahara; and examines why the international system is convoluted and often powerless in effecting the principles of self-determination. This denial of collective aspiration continues to be a source of regional and global insight"-- Provided by publisher.
