'This lucid and accessible book by one of the world's leading political philosophers defends the contemporary relevance of self-determination. A first-class read that masterfully engages its critics.'Anna Stilz, Princeton University'In this characteristically intelligent book, David Miller explores the concept of self-determination in its relation to democracy, peoplehood, decolonization and the rise of supranational institutions. He offers a philosophically nuanced and morally compelling defence of self-determination from which his critics especially will learn a great deal.'Lea Ypi, London School of Economics
