Opis

This ambitious study brings together for the first time a series of original essays on the ethics of secession. A host of leading figures explore key issues in this important debate, including, what is "a people" and what gives them a right to secede? And is national self-determination consistent with liberal and democratic principles or is it a dangerous doctrine?

Recenzje

The issues raised and debated are of immense interest to students of political philosophy, sociology, and international law.
