Dr. Peter Radan is a Senior Lecturer in Law and Director of Post-Graduate Programs at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.  He obtained his doctorate from the University of Sydney.  Dr. Radan's principal research interests lie in the areas of self-determination, and secession, and state creation.  His most recent publication is The Break-up of Yugoslavia and International Law (Routlege, 2002).  This monograph's focus is on the interplay of self-determination and uti possidetis juris in the context of the secession of four republics of the former Yugoslavia.

Dr. Radan's study takes an international law focus on the questions of the right to secession and the vexed question of post-secession international borders.  His current research is focused on the same question from the perspective of constitutional law in the context of the United States, the former Yugoslavia, and Canada.
