Interview with Deborah Whitehall
In this episode of EJIL: Live! the Associate Editor of the Journal, Dr. Guy Fiti Sinclair, speaks with Dr. Deborah Whitehall, Lecturer at Monash University Faculty of Law, about her article titled “A Rival History of Self-Determination”, which appears in EJIL, Volume 27, Issue 3. The article examines Rosa Luxemburg’s views on self-determination. Dr. Whitehall talks about how Luxemburg’s background and biography influenced her views, how those views differed from the orthodox liberal (Wilsonian) and Leninist positions, and what studying Luxemburg can illuminate for international lawyers today.
