Splitsville USA argues that it’s time for us to break up to save
representative democracy, proposing a mutually negotiated, peaceful
dissolution of the current United States of America into several
new nations. Zurn begins by examining the United States’
democratic predicament, a road most likely headed for electoral
authoritarianism, with distinct possibilities of ungovernability
and violent civil strife. Unlike others who share this diagnosis,
Zurn presents a realistic picture of how we can get to reform and
what it would involve. It is argued that "Splitsville" represents
the most plausible way for American citizens to continue living
under a republican form of government. Despite recent talk of
secession and civil war, this book offers the most extensive
treatment yet of the issues we need to think through to enable a
peacefully negotiated political divorce. Splitsville USA is a
provocative conversation opener about the problems that have gotten
us into our current political pickle and how to get out of it by
seizing the reins of our own constitutional destiny. The book will
appeal to readers of political science, American politics, history,
political philosophy, and law, along with all general readers
interested in the future of democracy in the United States.
