Self-Determination And Secession In Africa: The Post-Colonial State (Routledge Studies In African Development)

The book is a comparative study of the prominent quest for self-determination and secessionism cases in Africa. It further examines the theoretical, international law, and charters of the United Nations and the Organisation of African Unity (OAU)/African Union (AU) stand on the issue of self-determination and secessionism. It explores whether self-determination and secessionism leads to peace, stability, development and democratisation in conflict-ridden societies. It extensively analyses factors such as geo-political, economic, security and ideological that determine the outcome of the quest for self-determination and secession.
