Inside the politics of self-determination
Gallagher Cunningham, KathleenAuthor
There are currently over 100 stateless nations pressing for greater self-determination and, while most will never achieve independence, many will receive some accommodation over self-determination, many will engage in civil war and, in many cases, internecine violence will plague these groups. This book examines the dynamic internal politics of states and self-determination groups, which significantly affect information and credibility problems faced by these actors, as well as the incentives and opportunities for states to pursue partial accommodation of these groups.
