Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the multifaceted relationship between modern nation-states and uncivilized tribes brought under their sovereignty. The author argues that a legal relationship based on guardianship and tutorship has developed over time, one that is both a moral and a legal obligation. The book draws on a wealth of sources, including historical, diplomatic, and legal documents, to explore the nature of this relationship, and to trace its evolution since the mid-19th century. Ultimately, the book reveals that the concept of guardianship has emerged as a means of striking a balance between the rights of civilized states and the protection of aboriginal tribes, with the ultimate goal of fostering progress and integration for the latter.
