International Law And Ungoverned Space, Matthew Hoisington
International Law And Ungoverned Space, Matthew Hoisington
Matthew Hoisington
Ungoverned spaces, strictly defined as “spaces not effectively governed by the state” exist all over the world, presenting particular difficulties to public international law, which is historically premised on sovereignty and state control.
