Ronen's intention in this book is to explain what self-determination is, why people fight for it, and what the implications of the struggle may be. Though Ronen's approach is primarily analytical and philosophical, he uses four cases (the Scots, Biafra, the Palestinians, and South Africa) to illustrate the application of his thesis to current events.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDov Ronen's thesis in this book is that this fundamental human aspiration, this basic drive, the quest for self-determination, which has appeared locally many times in history, has taken root and spread since the French Revolution to other parts of the world, has been formulated at times in apparently conflicting sets of ideas, has appeared in correspondingly different movements, and has been embodied recently in various documents as a legal right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 8.48 x 5.72 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 1979\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45310452957286,"sku":"9780300023640","price":113.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/cHV1SDMxMGRsU0Nxc3k5alZpVmpMdz09.webp?v=1774245028","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-quest-for-self-determination-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
