Theories of Secession presents a systematic analysis of the recent
rise of secessionist movements in global politics. Bringing
together some of the most respected scholars in their field, this
study locates the right to secede in the context of contemporary
political theory. The chapters deal with problems of nationalism
and federalism, special rights to secede, conditions of ethnic and
cultural pluralism and asks if constitutions should include a right
to secede.

The contributors to this study address the question of how
political theory is relevant to the construction of the new Europe
and tie-in issues of citizenship, social justice and political
legitimacy. By using techniques of contemporary political theory
the book argues that the emergence of the new Europe poses
fundamental questions of value and principle and challenges more
established political theories in the process.

What is a just political order? What does justice require of us?
These are perennial questions of political philosophy. John Rawls,
generally acknowledged to be one of the most influential political
philosophers of the twentieth century, answered them in a way that
has drawn widespread attention, not only from political
philosophers, but from political scientists, economists, those in
the field of public policy, and experts in jurisprudence. It is not
only academics who have been inspired by Rawls' ideas; they have
also influenced the theory of government and continue to play a
role in actual public political debates. This introduction outlines
Rawls' work on the theory of justice. Focusing on Rawls' own
writings, from his first publication in 1951 to his final ones some
fifty years later, Percy B. Lehning demonstrates how and why they
can be considered as one consistent and coherent body of work.
