Description: This collection explores the changes that the current international order has brought to the theory and practice of recognition of secessionist claims and to the conditions for secessionist mobilization. The contributors employ comparative analysis within legal, international relations and political science frameworks and examine several recent attempts at secession.
Review Quotes: 'Those who want to be fully up-to-date about how the international community views secession will find On the Way to Statehood an indispensable resource. There is no comparable work where issues of political science, history, and ethics are discussed together so comprehensively. Secession is a vital issue, and On the Way to Statehood is a major contribution to understanding it.' David Gordon, Ludwig von Mises Institute, USA
