Role of democracy for state formation in the international lows
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Some scholars argue that democracy is the only legitimate political system and it is necessary to be acknowledged even by international law. This research criticizes this theory and takes the position that attributes of statehood are not dependent on type of government. Where the emergence of a new state was merely a fact (and the international community was not involved in producing this fact), recognition was normally universally granted without an enquiry into the (non-) democratic methods of governments of the newly-emerged states.Apart from democracy as a political system, this paper is also concerned withthe operation of democratic principles in the process of state creation, most notablythrough the exercise of the right of self-determination. An argument is made that thewill of the people within the right of self-determination has a narrower scope than is the case within democratic political theory. Limits on the will of the people in the context of the right of self-determinationstem from the principle of territorial integrity of states, protection of rights of other peoples and minorities, and even from the previously existing internalboundary arrangement.
