Nationalism is a significant transitional power in the annals of history. Though the concept of loyalty is generally believed to be of a more contemporary vintage, theories as to the actual origins and the development of nationalism as a concept abound. Allegiance in the Arab world and the Palestinians in particular, have remained unexamined not due to lack of significance, but due to deliberate omission.

Chapter 3

Post 1 – Professor Franck’s brings up an interesting question, why states obey international law despite the undeveloped condition of the international system? I would say a very important reason is that criminals, even those who have been nation-state leaders have been brought to trial on the international stage at The Hague. So all the characteristics he mentions that give legitimacy – transparency, symbolic validation, adherence and coherence – are met by the World Court and can be observed on the television news all over the world. There exist inconsistencies in terms of which leaders are taken to trial when others have ...
