Description

Alex Green argues that states arise under contemporary international law only when two abstract conditions are fulfilled.

First, emerging states must constitute 'genuine political communities': collectives within which particular kinds of ethically valuable behaviour are possible.

Second, such communities must emerge in a manner consistent with the ethical importance of individual political action.

This uniquely 'Grotian' theory of state creation provides a clear legal framework comprising four factual 'antecedents' and five procedural principles, rendering the law of statehood both coherent and normatively attractive.
