Examines problems connected to the implementation of the rights of self-determination & to secession in Yugoslavia, particularly the issue of whether these rights should be exercised by ethnocultural nations or territorial entities. A historical analysis focusing on how Croats, Bosniaks, Serbs, Albanians, Macedonians, & Montenegrins perceived their own national rights within the Yugoslav framework & how they reacted to the international community's approach is employed to explore the extent to which the international community succeeded or failed in finding a consistent approach to these problems, & how its attitudes might be explained.

Introduces a collection of essays devoted to addressing issues surrounding sovereignty & the right to secession, employing ten case studies that demonstrate some broad theoretical & normative problems. Contributions chart an alternative path of normative studies research centered on contextualizing the secession debate to transcend the two problems of compartmentalization & abstract deduction. Here, four themes are highlighted: (1) the legitimizing value of the principle of national self-determination & the circumstances in which a unilateral right to secession may be justified; (2) the meaning of "self" in defining this principle as explored in work on the ethnic & civic dimensions of state- & nation-building; (3) the sovereignty debate; & (4) relevance of just war theory to normative discussions on secession. Conditions under which unilateral secession is legitimate are examined. In addition, it is shown that a contextualized approach requires a more differentiated perspective to the concept of secession. Thus distinctions are made between secession, secessionist movement, & secessionist process. Attention turns to addressing problems emerging from the contextualization of the ideal-type distinction between a civic & ethnic conception of the state & the nation before considering how the question of sovereignty in a secessionist process & the issue of moral justification of wars of secession can be contextualized.

Examines secession with respect to the case of Taiwan & the changing pattern of conflict, making a normative assessment of Taiwan's political status. Some historical background to the Taiwan question is provided to point up shifting strategies between reunification & secession. Clarification of the meaning of secession in this case centers on the concepts of sovereignty & self-determination. Seven conditions derived from Alexis Heraclides's (1997) normative framework for the right to secession are then applied to evaluate the legitimacy of the demand to exercise that right. J. Zendejas
