Reviews

This is a book of many virtues and it should be celebrated. Publius: The Journal of Federalism The Symbolic State is a theoretically and empirically ambitious book that challenges scholars of decentralization and secessionism to consider the distinctive dynamics that occur within multinational states. In particular it challenges broad-brush theories of federalism and 'indirect rule' that assume a universal relationship between territorial concessions and self-determination demands. The phenomenon is far more complex and contingent than much of the existing research acknowledges. Jason Sorens, Saint Anselm College and author of Secessionism: Identity, Interest, and Strategy
