| Summary: | When does the US support partition of a warring or failing state? Why has the US supported partition for some secessionists, or irredentists, but not for others?

This book seeks to answer these questions by examining US policy toward secessionist movements in three countries during the first decade following the end of the Cold War: Iraq, Ethiopia, and Bosnia-Hercegovina. |
