Secessionist Movements in Comparative Perspective

by Ralph R. Premdas

Secession, like divorce is an ultimate act of alienation. Committed against an existing state, secession can result in the emergence of a new international unit, or a self-governing one within a forced decentralized system. The appeal of secession is growing and this timely book takes a broad overview of various secession movements around the world.
