What are the factors that determine how central governments respond
to demands for independence? Secessionist movements are numerous
and quite varied in form, but the chief obstacle to their ambitions
is the state itself, which can deny independence demands, deploy
force if need be, and request that the international community
respect its territorial integrity by not recognizing the breakaway
region. Age of Secession focuses on this crucial but neglected
moment in the life of a secessionist movement. Griffiths offers a
novel theory using original data on secessionist movements between
1816 and 2011. He explains how state response is shaped by
international and domestic factors, when conflict is likely, and
why states have proliferated since 1945. He mixes quantitative
methods with case studies of secessionist movements in the United
Kingdom, Russia/Soviet Union, and India. This is an important book
for anyone who wants to understand the phenomenon of secession.
