LISD Book Talk: THE FIRST RIGHT: Self-Determination and the Transformation of International Order, 1941–2000
The First Right: Self-Determination and the Transformation of International Order, 1941-2000 examines the political, cultural and legal descent of the idea of self-determination through post 1945 US foreign relations and international politics. Brad Simpson, professor of history at UConn, uses the contested history of self-determination claims to re-think contemporary notions of human rights, sovereignty and international order as they intersected with the processes of decolonization, Cold War conflict and globalization.
