Separatism

Democracy and Disintegration
Herausgeber: Spencer, Metta

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a comparative view of nine historic separatist movements, some of which have achieved the break-up of an empire or a state, and others that to date have not. The authors analyze the long term effects of secession: after partition, ethnic strife typically continues for generations; minorities decline in status; and democracy and human rights are derogated.
