Defining a 'State' and the Criterion for 'Statehood' found ambiguous due to legitimacy issues. State as a subject of international law enabled with certain rights and duties obliged to perform. While the political relevance of the recognition of states is beyond doubt, the rules of law which apply to this aspect remain uncertain. The establishment of the modern state system in the world roots back to the Westphalian treaties. Montevideo Convention of 1933, initially identified qualifications for a state and subsequently accepted by many states, regional and international institutes with codification. Declaratory and Constitutive theories on the criterion for statehood debated on relevance of 'international recognition' over the other factual qualifications of; population, territory, government and the capacity to entire into relations with other States. Admission as a member to the UNO recognizes a new state as a part of the globally organized community by way of co-optation. The globalization and related changes along with humanitarian considerations have created various types of status for states. International recognition for a state expressed through diplomatic relations and the influence of UNSC, found to be prominent aspects over the other domestic settings for statehood except the 'effective control' over its territory. This paper meant to clarify ambiguities on the legitimacy of a state and the criteria for statehood with reference to sources of international law, cases and secondary data analysis methods..

When the late Professor Joachim Illies suggested in 1980 that I edit a volume of the Monographiae Biologicae on Sri Lanka, I was glad to accept the challenge. Although I had spent only six years of my research and teaching career in Sri Lanka, I had made personal contact or corresponded with many scientists who had worked in, still work in, or who have studied material from Sri Lanka. The present domicile of the authors of the chapters in this volume shows the wide geographic spread of interest in Sri Lanka, and indicates also the dispersion of Sri Lankan scientists like myself. Sri Lanka has had a relatively long history of indigenous scientific research in the natural sciences. From the early work of Kelaart (1852, Prodromous Fauna Zeylanicae, Ceylon Govt. Press, 250 pp.) to the present time, there has been a more or less sustained research effort in the natural sciences. The Colombo Museum, which celebrated its centenary only a few years ago, and the world famous Peradeniya Botanical Gardens, served as repositories and bases for continued research on the fauna and flora. There are a number of land marks in these studies.
Qualitative Research Methods for Second Language Education

Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
Release Date: 2011-11-15
What sets Qualitative Research Methods for Second Language Education apart from existing books is its balance between theories and learning activities. The activities are designed to be interactive so that they provide a chance for both students and teachers to reinforce their understanding of the research topic. It is the author’s belief that one learns research by conducting research rather than by talking about it. Thus, the activities created in the book provide opportunities for students to develop and sharpen their research skills. Developing these skills will be very useful when students later conduct their own research.
