The rules of secession
Article Abstract:
Self-determination can be seen as a right, but raises questions bout the fate of those inhabitants of the territory that breaks away who may not want to secede. Richer areas may secede and impoverish the remainder of countries. Secession should involve a majority with guarantees for minorities in the new territory, and compensation for loss of assets. There should also be restraints on the sovereignty of new countries, such as allowing pipelines to pass through. There should also be an ethnic or other claim to nationhood.
