Description
This book is in a
way an offspring of my earlier Sovereignty
Conflicts and International Law and Politics. A Distributive Justice Issue (Núñez
2017, Routledge Taylor & Francis). That publication had a similar aim: to
offer a platform for open discussion in which I adapted Rawlsian methodology to
assess sovereignty conflicts such as Kashmir, the Falkland/Malvinas islands and
Gibraltar to try to come up with a solution to these conflicts that no
reasonable party could reject.
That work partially
fulfilled its aim. I had the opportunity to present my ideas in academic
contexts around the world. Valuable lessons came, too, as wise people wrestled
with what I proposed. However, I realized that although the intention behind my
book was good, it was not going to deliver the impact I wanted. That is because
my work was (it has always been) geared to all people whether they are
academics, politicians or people in general.
That
is how this book started. I started writing a blog series. The posts developed
into a unity. You have now the final product, a sort of fairy tale in which
three populations see their world coming to an end and have to decide whether
to continue with their disputes or leave their differences behind and work
together for the common good.
As
with any fairy tale, I can only wish upon a star for this to happen in our real
world and people, and for our governments and the central powers of society to
set their
These
are a few modest pages. They cannot change the world. You can.
