Reviews

'Those who want to be fully up-to-date about how the international community views secession will find On the Way to Statehood an indispensable resource. There is no comparable work where issues of political science, history, and ethics are discussed together so comprehensively. Secession is a vital issue, and On the Way to Statehood is a major contribution to understanding it.' David Gordon, Ludwig von Mises Institute, USA
