More DescriptionBased on an analysis of the diplomatic practice of states, and decisions by national and international courts, this book explores the different meanings of the term `recognition' and its variants in international law. It is an important contribution to the current literature because so little has been written in this field in recent years. The author analyses the effect of recognition on the legal status of foreign authorities, particularly of those authorities in exile which are recognized as a government. In so doing, he covers material which is of significant historical interest, as well as highly topical material such as recent developments in Angola, Kuwait and Haiti. Thus Talmon's book will hold great appeal for international law scholars and practitioners alike.
