Abstract

The past decade and a half has witnessed a rash of secessionist movements. Some have succeeded, some have failed; some have involved large-scale conflict and ethnic cleansing, some have been remarkably peaceful. These momentous events call into question not only the legitimacy of particular states and their boundaries, but also the nature of sovereignty, the purposes of political association and the scope of majority rule.
