Description

Secession and the Sovereignty Game Strategy and Tactics for Aspiring Nations by Ryan D. Griffiths is a comprehensive analysis of how secessionist movements attempt to win independence. The author's research combines original data analysis, fieldwork, interviews with secessionist leaders, and case studies on various regions, including Catalonia, West Papua, and Northern Cyprus. Griffiths identifies the "sovereignty game" as a strategic playing field between existing states and aspiring nations, where secessionist movements must adapt their tactics to local conditions. By understanding how sovereign recognition has succeeded in the past and is working in the present, this book also prescribes solutions that could make the sovereignty game less conflictual.
