Nonetheless, secession is bound up with the ideals of self-determination and the liberal commitment to rule by the consent of the governed. It is the underlying moral legitimacy of arguments regarding self-determination that often undergird secessionist movements since, as this book argues, secession can be morally justified. The difficulty is determining when and how it is justified.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis book offers an account that begins with the metaphysical nature of social relations at the root of self-determination. This account reveals that while the ideal of self-determination grants secession a moral grounding, those same ideals of self-determination require a process that is deliberate and accounts for cross-cutting obligations. It then considers the cases of Quebec, South Sudan, Ukraine, and Scotland to apply the theory to reality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eMitchell Krumm is \u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eAssociate\u003c\/span\u003e Professor of Political Science at Marietta College.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 July 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032243133\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e194\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46803327975564,"sku":"9783032243133","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032243133.jpg?v=1781088383","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032243133","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
