Age of Secession focuses on recognition, a crucial moment in the life of a secessionist movement. Griffiths offers a novel analysis of secessionist movements between 1816 and 2011, explaining how state response is shaped by international and domestic factors, when conflict is likely, and why states have proliferated since 1945.
