Separatism and Integration: A Study in Analytical History (Publication of the American Association of School Administrators)

Our understanding of separatist movements is challenged daily by news reports from places as varied as India, Indonesia, Kosovo, and Quebec. This book gives readers a new insight into these movements by providing a thorough analysis of separatism from a historical and comparative perspective. It also studies the conditions, which ensure the success of integration and of melting-pot processes, in particular at the language level.
