They range from Scottish and Catalonian campaigns for independence to calls for the devolution of power to regions and cities. But is self-determination meaningful or desirable in the twenty-first century, or merely a dangerous illusion? \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this book, David Miller mounts a powerful defence of political self-determination. He explains why it is valuable and argues that geographic proximity alone is not enough for groups to have the capacity for self-determination: group members must also identify with each other. He explores the different political forms that self-determination can take, and he suggests some realistic constraints on how it can be achieved, concluding that people exercising their collective agency is still both feasible and important. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnyone concerned by the theoretical issues raised by the various secessionist and nationalist movements around the world should read this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509533478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509533473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/23\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 4.80w x 0.50d","brand":"David Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935423529215,"sku":"9781509533473","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d3711fe6-84fe-479e-b598-bc5090f56f30.jpg?v=1681419715","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/is-self-determination-a-dangerous-illusion-david-miller-9781509533473","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
