La autodeterminación de los pueblos versus la integridad territorial de los Estados, y la unilateralidad de una declaración de independencia versus el no consentimiento del Estado resultan irreconciliables. Asimismo, el reconocimiento deviene en un elemento externo que incide de manera importante en estos procesos. El caso de Cataluña evidencia una excesiva neutralidad del derecho internacional y exhibe un escenario con asusencía de reglas claras que propicia que el derecho internacional se debilite frente a la Realpolitik.]]></p></abstract>
