A separatist conflict has been ongoing in India-administered
Kashmir since 1989. Focusing on this region, this book critiques
the existing normative theories of secession, and offers a
comprehensive examination of the right of sub-groups to secede.
The book looks at the different accounts of the moral right to
secede, and assesses both the theories themselves as well as the
claims of those who want to separate Kashmir from India. Included
within this analysis are the three main types of normative theory
that ground the right of groups to secede in principles of national
self: determination, consensual governance and rectificatory
justice. Previous studies have discussed the causes behind the
uprising in Kashmir against Indian authority and examined some of
the legal and geo-political implications of the conflict for India
and the wider region. This book provides a new way of looking at
the Kashmir dispute, by asking what these theories tell us about
Kashmir, and in turn what the example of Kashmir allows us to learn
about these theories. It is of interest to students and scholars of
South Asian Politics and International Relations.
