| Abstract: | Decolonization in parts of the Third World and particularly Africa has resulted in the emergence of numerous "quasi-states", which are independent largely by international courtesy. They exist by virtue of an external right of self domination without yet demonstrating much internal capacity for effective and civil government. If international theory is to account for this novel situation it must acknowledge the possibility that morality and legality can, in certain circumstances, be independent of power in international relations. |
