..[the] meticulous and detailed use of a vast array of situations is 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.

   Episk Statsbok

   För den som vill förstå sig på hur stater blir till i det internationella systemet finns få böcker som slår denna avhandling. Den är djupgående och helt exemplarisk med olika fallstudier som exempel genom hela boken. Den är faktaspäckad så det finns andra enklare verk att börja med om det skulle vara så. Med det sagt så skulle jag påstå att detta är "bibeln" när det kommer till att förstå sig på staters uppkomst och fall inom det internationella samfundet.
