They have an enormous impact on transnational politics and the world order. First published in 1991, Governments-in-Exile in Contemporary World Politics examines the odd but pivotal place that governments-in-exile have in international politics.   In a variety of case studies and theoretical essays by eminent scholars, this volume deals with many volatile and news-making national situations-in Palestine, Afghanistan, Iran, southwest Africa, Cambodia, Armenia, Ireland, among others-that span a range of geopolitical regions. It addresses diverse issues that are central to political science, such as: the limits of sovereignty; the role of host states; the elusive nature of representation in the absence of effective control over a home territory; international legitimation and recognition; governments-in-exile as political tools in the hands of their foreign patrons; and the actual and symbolic importance of governments-in-exile in the preservation of diasporic nations and cultures.   The book fills a unique place in the literature on international politics by covering and comparing a truly international range of cases of governments-in-exile. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420534288757,"sku":"9781032898155","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781032898155","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
