Breaking-up a nation, from the inside

No B 20-2000, ZEI Working Papers from University of Bonn, ZEI - Center for European Integration Studies

Abstract: The paper ascribes to the literature analysing the conditions leading to the break-up of nations. The model englobes the existing literature and considers two separate spaces, a state and its region, where informed and non-informed citizens cohabit. We depart in considering that noninformed citizens may be convinced, via the action of groups acting to obtain independence. Conditions for separation are established and discussed.
