商品簡介
Political and legal scholars, most from Europe but a few from far corners of the former British Empire, evaluate whether long-standing secessionist conflicts have been addressed effectively through the significant number of self-determination settlements that were generated in response to the wave of internal conflicts during the 1990s. Each of the eight case studies involves a unit within an existing state struggling at some stage for independence, and an attempt to resolve the conflict by applying the doctrine of power sharing. The underlying research project has produced, and is incubating, other volumes focusing on different doctrines. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
