Claims to self-determination are rife in world politics today. They
range from Scottish and Catalonian campaigns for independence to
calls for the devolution of power to regions and cities. But is
self-determination meaningful or desirable in the twenty-first
century, or merely a dangerous illusion? In this book, David Miller
mounts a powerful defence of political self-determination. He
explains why it is valuable and argues that geographic proximity
alone is not enough for groups to have the capacity for
self-determination: group members must also identify with each
other. He explores the different political forms that
self-determination can take, and he suggests some realistic
constraints on how it can be achieved, concluding that people
exercising their collective agency is still both feasible and
important. Anyone concerned by the theoretical issues raised by the
various secessionist and nationalist movements around the world
should read this book.
