Among these States, the case of the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) is haunting due to their increasing uninhabitability amidst rising sea-levels. This article will interrogate the crystallized Western notion of Statehood and urge a vision of its four pillars as interconnected. By training a postcolonial lens, it will then exemplify the ways in which international law and policy has been constructed and wielded so as to invert the interests of the SIDS, thereby necessitating the proposed shift in the understanding of Statehood. The article will thereafter analyse the array of options available to the SIDS as recourse, with the endeavour of initiating a dialogue that is mindful of their particularities and trajectories. 000301390 542__ $$fOpen Access article, Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial NoDerivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) licence$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 000301390 580__ $$aIn: Asia Pacific Law Review. - Volume 31(2023), no 2, pages 428-450 000301390 6531_ $$aDemocracy and Sovereignty$$0319120 000301390 6531_ $$aEnvironment and the Anthropocene 000301390 6531_ $$aGlobal Governance 000301390 6531_ $$aSustainability and SDGs 000301390 700__ $$aMitra, Ryan Milan 000301390 700__ $$aSanghi, Sanskriti 000301390 8564_ $$9f243c79e-53e9-4789-80e1-2469fd4bfd16$$s2158693$$uhttps://repository.graduateinstitute.ch/record/301390/files/The%20small%20island%20states%20in%20the%20Indo%20Pacific%20sovereignty%20lost.pdf 000301390 909CO $$ooai:repository.graduateinstitute.ch:301390$$pGLOBAL_SET$$pIHEID:Explore 000301390 981__ $$aoverwrite
