Definition(s)

  • Secession is the formal withdrawal from an established, internationally recognized state by a constituent unit to create a new sovereign state. This entry analyzes the meaning of the notion, its empirical dynamics, and its justification and finally addresses the key question on the reasons why there are not a higher number of secessions in the world. [Source: International Encyclopedia of Political Science; Secession]
