• Extra informatie: - This study offers a rigorous examination of the legal and diplomatic responses to territorial aggression, particularly focusing on the Stimson Doctrine. This U.S. policy, articulated in 1932 by Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson, declared non-recognition of international territorial changes executed by force, especially in response to Japan’s invasion of Manchuria. Langer contextualizes the doctrine within the broader evolution of international law, analyzing precedents, legal theories of sovereignty and conquest, and diplomatic practices from the 19th century through WWII. The book reflects post-WWII concerns about international order and legitimacy, exploring how non-recognition policies attempt to deter aggression without warfare. Robert Langer, a legal scholar, combines meticulous historical research with legal analysis, contributing to early Cold War-era debates on legal norms, international enforcement, and peace. The work remains an important study of legal responses to unlawful territorial expansion.
