Elizabeth Chadwick, Self-Determination in the Post-9/11 Era, Oxford: Routledge; Simultaniously, New York: Routledge, 2011, $160.00; ISBN: 978-0-415-55004-8.
Introduction:
Recognition of self-determination in international law is new. International law has adopted self-determination as a right in 1941 by UN charter, but from the beginning of the civilization the desire for self-determination was there.

Where she wanted to argue that- the position of “self-determination”became more complex than ever as post 9/11 incident of terrorist attack by Al Qaeda on New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania increased the tendency of the government to incorporate self-determination into anti-terrorist agenda.

Otherwise, it will give you a partial idea about the matter. She did not even explain the impact of 9/11 in every region of the world. It’s true that, five permanent members are important but that does not mean that study on that states will cover the whole
