Produktbeschreibung

Secession is the creation of a new State through the separation of part of the territory and population of an existing State. It is often a source of conflict, since the latter State is generally not willing to admit its dismemberment. This book offers a comprehensive study of secession from an international law perspective examining the question of secession regionally in Africa, Asia and the Pacific region, Europe and Latin America.
