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\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eIs Self-Determination a Dangerous Illusion?\u003c\/em\u003e, 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 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\n\n\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\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47431043186924,"sku":"9781509533473","price":23.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509533473.jpg?v=1774558038","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/is-self-determination-a-dangerous-illusion-by-david-miller-9781509533473","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
