This book provides an in-depth narrative of the difficulties facing Territorial Self-Government institutions across Northern Ireland, Bosnia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Moldova, and Iraq.

The book offers new insights into how ethnicity, language and regional-local identity interact within the context of Ukrainian political reform, and indicates how these reforms affect social cohesion among ethno-cultural groups.

This book explores secession from three normative disciplines: political philosophy, international law and constitutional law. The book's second part then argues that international law is more inclined to accept and advance a remedial right approach to secession.

This edited volume explores the obstacles to and opportunities for the development and entrenchment of a sustainable and representative multinational federalism.

This book offers a broad perspective of revolutionary territorial politics by putting secession in the context of other forms of revolutionary territorial politics. This allows for a more complex and profound account of secession and offers the reader a conceptual approach to politics of revolutionary discontent with territorial status quo.

Bringing together comparative politics, conflict research and social psychology, this book presents a novel theory to explain the consolidation outcomes of post-conflict autonomy arrangements.

It looks at emerging federal structures worldwide and analyses federal structures: their emergence, operation and categorization.
