A Theory of Secession

Más información sobre el libro

The book presents a compelling argument for the moral right to secede, asserting that any group can justifiably pursue political separation if it allows both parties to maintain essential functions. Wellman emphasizes that valuing legitimate states does not conflict with the idea of division, positing that self-determination inherently includes the right to define political boundaries. This exploration challenges traditional views on state integrity and highlights the importance of individual and collective autonomy in political arrangements.
