The issue of state succession may not recur so frequently. However, the birth and death of states which account for the creation of new states is inevitable in international relations depending upon the philosophical, ideological, historical, social, economical, political and legal contexts in each period. Each wave is very unique. Hence each problem has to be studied independently depending upon the issues centered round it. It is here state succession primarily identify solutions arising out of transfer of sovereignty and to regulate the jural relations between the ‘old’ and ‘new’ states to minimize the effects of such changes. In this framework, Dr. Sastry examines the interaction between the theoretical perspectives, legal aspects (i.e., legislation, state practice and judicial decisions) with reference to the partition of India. The book critically apprises the historical, social, philosophical, economical, political and legal problems connected with state succession through Indian perspective. This analytic, incisive and comprehensive study will be of immense help to the legal practitioners, policy makers, diplomats, scholars and students of different disciplines, (such as history, economics, political science, law, international relations and other area studies) in India and abroad.
