Ultimate Concessions? Why States Agree to Independence Referendums After Long Wars
Governments that fiercely and violently fight against self-determination movements rarely accommodate the latter’s demand for independence referendums subsequently. However, rare exceptions exist where governments eventually agree to independence referendums. Why do governments radically change their policies and offer these ultimate concessions? To answer this question, this article analyses five such cases: Western Sahara, Eritrea, East Timor, …
Building Peace after Self-Determination and Partition
Since the 1990s, scholars have debated whether partition, the most radical solution to ethnic conflicts, promotes peace or not. Drawing on the peacebuilding and war recurrence literature, I contribute to this debate by theorizing reasons that newly independent states emerging from partition are likely to suffer from new conflicts between former pro-independence allies. At the domestic level, former pro-independence groups, assumed to be a unitary…
Just a strategic move? Exploring good reasons for self-determination referendums through the case of East Timor
Using referendums to settle the question of sovereignty might look intuitive, but self-determination is not always accompanied by a referendum empirically, and the existing literature largely points to politicians’ instrumental motivations to hold self-determination referendums. Referendums are also notorious for their zero-sum nature. What exactly then makes referendums essential for self-determination? By analysing East Timor’s 1999 referendum,…
Settling with Autonomy after Civil Wars
Autonomy arrangements short of secession have been popular among international actors as a solution to deadly self‐determination conflicts. However, the number of peace agreements incorporating autonomy, while clearly eliminating the possibility of secession, is limited in practice. According to the literature, this is because: (1) ethnic rebels are too weak militarily to extract substantial concessions from national governments; and (2) because …
Drifting between accommodation and repression
A central government facing separatist activities adopts various policies to respond to them. In some cases, the government represses them harshly, while in other cases, it tries to accommodate the separatists’ demands. We currently have two strands in the literature to understand which policies are implemented by the government: the reputation theory and the cost-benefit calculation model. However, neither of them is sufficient to explain Indone…
