The Theory of State Succession, written by Arthur Berriedale Keith in 1907, is a comprehensive examination of the legal concept of state succession. The book focuses on the principles and rules that govern the transfer of rights and obligations from one state to another, particularly in the context of English and colonial law.Keith begins by exploring the historical development of state succession, tracing its roots back to the Roman Empire and examining its evolution through the Middle Ages and into the modern era. He then delves into the legal framework that governs state succession, including the role of international law and the various treaties and conventions that have been established to regulate the process.The book also explores the practical implications of state succession, including the transfer of property, debts, and other assets from one state to another. Keith provides numerous examples of state succession in action, including the transfer of territories from one colonial power to another and the dissolution of empires.Throughout the book, Keith emphasizes the importance of understanding the principles of state succession in order to properly navigate the complex legal landscape that governs international relations. The Theory of State Succession is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and legal framework of state succession, particularly in the context of English and colonial law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
