This book, first published in 1999, offers a general explanation
for the occurrence of the phenomenon of secessionist activity,
arising from a comparative study of numerous historical examples of
secession and separatist conflict. The book develops a
comprehensive framework, specifying the elements necessary for a
secession crisis, and discussing the moral issues underpinning such
a decision. The author examines the political, economic and social
costs and benefits of a community's two alternatives - continued
integration in the existing state and secession - which enter into
decision-making processes, and argues that secessionist activity
arises only when government action or international developments
change a community's view of the balance among these costs and
benefits. Her conclusion is that a community's aspirations for
independence change with circumstances, and that in some instances,
sensitive government policy can substantially mitigate secessionist
sentiment, while, in others, evolution in the prevailing
international climate can outweigh domestic factors in the dynamic
of secession.
