Benjamin J Cohen: Dream States, Gebunden

Klappentext

Around the world, numerous communities seek the protections of sovereignty--a "dream state" of their own--to preserve their traditional way of life. However, these secessionist movements create a risk of prolonged conflict in countries of every size. In Dream States, Benjamin J. Cohen analyzes a diverse array of examples from recent history to assess the dangers of separatist conflict and what can be done about it. Given the increasing emphasis on territorial and ethnic identity in political movements globally, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in separatism and the threat it poses to international peace.
