Nationalism, Secessionism, and Autonomy
«original and highly stimulating work ... André Lecours has written a compact book with what promises to be a very large intellectual footprint.»
Karlo Basta, Publius: The Journal of Federalism
The strength of secessionism in liberal-democracies varies in time and space. Inspired by historical institutionalism, Nationalism, Secessionism, and Autonomy argues that such variation is explained by the extent to which autonomy evolves in time. Les mer

settlement. Developing a controlled comparison of, on the one hand, Catalonia and Scotland, where autonomy has been mostly static during key periods of time, and, on the other hand, Flanders and South Tyrol, where it has been dynamic, and also considering the Basque Country, Quebec, and Puerto Rico as
additional cases, this book puts forward an elegant theory of secessionism in liberal-democracies: dynamic autonomy staves off secessionism while static autonomy stimulates it.

«original and highly stimulating work ... André Lecours has written a compact book with what promises to be a very large intellectual footprint.»
Karlo Basta, Publius: The Journal of Federalism
«Nationalism, Secessionism and Autonomy takes a different perspective on one of today's most controversial social science problems. Rather than examining the formation and histories of separatist and nationalist movements, the book examines the essence of separatist movements and the institutional interactions that give rise to them. The book therefore opens a new window of thought for those interested in separatist movements.»
