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","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45203081920663,"sku":"9781509533466","price":2829.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781509533466.webp?v=1769208301","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/is-self-determination-a-dangerous-illusion-9781509533466","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
