This volume purports to explore the legal and political issues
triggered by the new wave of secessionism. More specifically, those
issues concern the interplay between notions of democracy (and
democratic ends and means) and law (and the rule of law and
constitutionalism). Against this background, the editors use
amorality in order to escape the terrain of the justification of
secession by making a distinction between the democratic theory of
secession and the theory of democratic secession. In the first
section, the theoretical nexus democracy-secession has been
approached both from a legal and political theory perspective. The
second section of the book examines the instruments that the theory
of democratic secession invokes in order to justify secession and
presents both legal and political science contributions. The third
section focuses on social movements and political actors. The
fourth section focuses on two case studies due to the awareness of
the importance of the difference between secession in a democratic
occidental context (which call into play the discussion of the
democratic theories) and separations in a non-democratic context
(where the nexus between secession and democracy is not really
central).
