Professor Milena Sterio’s book, “Secession in International Law: A New Framework,” was published by Edward Elgar.  In this book, Professor Sterio proposes a new legal framework for secession.  She addresses the inadequacy of existing legal norms, case studies, such as Bangladesh, Eritrea, East Timor, Kosovo, Scotland, and Catalonia, and she then proposes a normative framework on secession, which would attempt to reconcile competing claims of territorial integrity (of the mother state) and secession (of the separatist entity).
