This book explores secession from three normative disciplines:
political philosophy, international law and constitutional law. The
author first develops a moral theory of secession based on a
hypothetical multinational contract. Under this contract theory,
injustices do not determine the existence of a right to secede, but
the requirements to exercise it. The book’s second part then argues
that international law is more inclined to accept and advance a
remedial right approach to secession. Therefore, justice as
multinational fairness is to be fully institutionalized under the
constitutional law of liberal democracies. The final part proposes
constitutionalizing a qualified right to secede with the aim of
fostering recognition and accommodation of national pluralism as well
as cooperation and compromise between majority and minority nations.
