..[the] meticulous and detailed use of a vast array of situations id a significant strength of the book and will make it the first reference point for anyone practising or researching in this and related areas. The depth of understanding of each situation, the ability to see the various aspects of each situation and to apply them to various legal arguments is impressive.

Of great value not only to international lawyers but also to students of the impact of new states and nationalist movements on world politics.

Hedley Bull, Times Literary Supplement [review of the first edition]

Not only a masterful compilation of state practice and a minutely detailed review of the literature but a thoughtful analysis of one of international law's most perplexing problems.

Colin Warbrick, International Affairs [review of the first edition]

This new and much expanded edition of James Crawford's seminal 1979 publication is an invaluable contribution to the theory and practice of international law..Crawford's monumental study acknowledges such developments in the international arena, while convincingly demonstrating that the study of statehood remains at the core of the discipline

Australian Yearbook of International Law [review of the second edition]

This book stands alone in its field. It will be the first point of reference for anyone seeking information or enlightenment on how States have come into being, how they change, and how - sometimes - they disappear. It is an essential.. purchase for all international law and international relations libraries.

Michael Wood, Intern October 2006 [review of the second edition] 55, Part4,

The arrival of a second edition of James Crawford's seminal monograph is a welcome event...the second edition is more comprehensive and has a greater depth than its predecessor. Finally, although the first edition was very well received, in the intervening period Crawford has become a leading figure in international law...Crawford provides a meticulous, almost encyclopedic, account of a wide range of issues which inform the legal concept of statehood in modern international law.

Leiden Journal of International Law

As much as was ever the case in 1979 when the first edition of The Creation of States in International Law published, in the 21st century problems of territorial status and statehood are likely to continue to be a focal point of international disputes. As Rhodesia, Namibia, the South African Homelands and Taiwan then were subjects of acute concern, today governments, international organizations, and other institutions are seized of such matters as the membership of Cyprus in the European Union, application of the Geneva Conventions to Afghanistan, a final settlement for Kosovo, and, still, relations between China and Taiwan. The remarkable increase in the number of States in the 20th century did not abate in the twenty five years following publication of James Crawford's landmark study, which was awarded the American Society of International Law Prize for Creative Scholarship in 1981. The independence of many small territories comprising the 'residue' of the European colonial empires alone accounts for a major increase in States since 1979; while the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the USSR in the early 1990s further augmented the ranks. With these developments, the practice of States and international organizations has developed by substantial measure in respect of self-determination, secession, succession, recognition, de-colonization, and several other fields. Addressing such questions as the unification of Germany, the status of Israel and Palestine, and the continuing pressure from non-State groups to attain statehood, even, in cases like Chechnya or Tibet, against the presumptive rights of existing States, James Crawford discusses the relation between statehood and recognition as it has developed since the eighteenth century. The criteria for statehood and the effect on those criteria of evolving standards of democracy and human rights; their application in international organizations and between States; the creation of States by devolution or recession, by international disposition of major powers or international organizations and through institutions established for Mandated, Trust, and Non-Self-Governing Territories, are also discussed. Apart from the general argument of the normative significance of the legal concept of 'State', and the analysis of the numerous specific cases, this new edition of a landmark book provides a full and up-to-date account of the general development which has led to the birth of so many new States.

Presents a treatment of statehood in the field of international law. This book tackles problems and questions such as the international disposition of territory in Kosovo and East Timor, claims for secession in Chechnya and Quebec, and the alleged category of 'failed States,' often misleadingly applied to Somalia and Afghanistan.
