The Relationship between Sovereignty and Self Determination

Abstract: This 8 page paper considers the thesis that in extraordinary circumstances self determination can place sovereignty in abeyance. The paper includes consideration of what is meant by sovereignty and how it exerts power or is undermined. Examples such as the conflict in Bosnia are used to reach a conclusion that self determination does not place sovereignty in abeyance as the relationship is far more complex, but it may be seen as complimenting it as well as temporarily setting it aside. The bibliography cites 8 sources.
