- This 334-page monograph is the result of ten years of research, based on a wealth of original material: three in-depth case study chapters drawing on historical sources and a year of interviews and fieldwork in Russia, India, and Canada, and a statistical chapter based on new large-n data. Bridging literatures in comparative politics and conflict studies, the book challenges conventional wisdoms that consider decentralization to either fuel or dampen self-determination struggles. It shows that the impact of decentralization is neither uniformly positive nor negative but depends on the identity divides facing a country and wealth distribution across and within regions.
