Ethnic Identity and Minority Protection - From Designation to Brutalization

Informationen zum Autor Thomas W. Simon is professor of international law at the Hopkins-Nanjing Center, Nanjing University, China. Klappentext In Ethnic Identity and Minority Protection: Designation, Discrimination, and Brutalization, Thomas W. Simon examines a new framework for considering ethnic conflicts. In contrast to the more traditional theories of justice, Simon's theory of injustice shifts focus away from group identity toward group harms, effectively making many problems, such as how to define minorities in international law, dramatically more manageable.
