Secession and its Aftermath

Chapter 10 in Managing and Settling Ethnic Conflicts, 2004, pp 176-188 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Eritrean independence movement is an absorbing subject for the study of the management and settlement of ethnic conflict through secession. There are several factors that combine to make this particular case of the recognition of ethnic differences and the settlement of conflict through a territorial solution compelling. Over a 30-year period the separation of the Eritrean territory from Ethiopia changed from a completely unthinkable option to the preferred solution for settling the conflict. However, when secession did occur it did not have the intended consequence of eliminating violent conflict. If anything, violent conflict between Eritreans and other states increased.
