Bøger af Aleksandar Pavkovic

Engaging with a range of interconnected and highly topical issues of identity, self-determination and secession, this book examines the import and implications of 'identity claims', and looks into 'identity politics' motivated by such claims, which is becoming ever more salient in democratic and culturally and ethnically heterogeneous states.

This book explores a variety of images of nationhood (or the absence of them) in the lyrics of official national anthems.

Examined through political, social and legal processes, the first part of this volume deals with the practice of secessions. Part two deals with the theoretical approaches and starts with a discussion of theories that attempt to explain why and how secessions take place and the economic causes.
