First published in 2005, A Theory of Secession: The Case for
Political Self-Determination offers an unapologetic defense of the
right to secede. Christopher Heath Wellman argues that any group
has a moral right to secede as long as its political divorce will
leave it and the remainder state in a position to perform the
requisite political functions. He explains that there is nothing
contradictory about valuing legitimate states, while permitting
their division. Once political states are recognized as valuable
because of the functions that they are uniquely suited to perform,
it becomes apparent that the territorial boundaries of existing
states might permissably be redrawn as long as neither the process,
nor the result of this reconfiguration, interrupts the production
of the crucial political benefits. Thus, if one values
self-determination, then one has good reason to conclude that
people have a right to determine their political boundaries.
