This Palgrave Pivot presents theoretical models that explain common
historical sequences, such as wars of secession, the rise and fall
of empires, and international war. The book uses a rational choice
model to frame the incentives of specific groups coming together in
a polity or leaving it. These incentives are then set in a
theoretical framework to determine the outcome-unity or secession,
peace or war-and are demonstrated through historical examples. The
book provides two longer case studies looking directly at motives
for and against secession: the first on the American Civil War from
the point of view of the Confederacy, and the second on efforts by
the UK government to stem the tide of Scottish independence.
Another case study discusses peacekeeping as aimed at reducing the
costs of secessionist wars. With its accessible use of economic
theory and ability to bring to life real-world examples of conflict
and secession, this book is ideal supplementary reading for courses
in international relations, conflict studies, global economics and
economic history.
