		secession in political science, formal withdrawal from an association by a group discontented with the actions or decisions of that association.

	Secession - LoveToKnow 1911
		SECESSION, a term used in political science to signify the withdrawal of a state from a confederacy or composite state, of which it had previously been a part; and the resumption of all powers formerly delegated by it to the federal government, and of its status as an independent state.
		To secede is a sovereign right; secession, therefore, is based on the theory that the sovereignty of the individual states forming a confederacy or federal union has not been absorbed into a single new sovereignty.
		Secession is a right claimed or exercised by weaker states of a union whose rights are threatened by the stronger states, which seldom acknowledge such a principle.

		First, the secessionist movement is made up of organizations of many different kinds that are alike in their advocacy of secession—of secession in general and of secession of their particular part of the planet.
		A group is for secession precisely because it does not want to be part of a larger entity whose beliefs and actions it does not like, and wishes to live free on its own terms.
		The beauty of secession is that it looks toward having a world where those and many other kinds of states can exist, free and independent, and not impose its ideas on others or have others’ ideas imposed on it.

	SECESSION: INTERNATIONAL LAW PERSPECTIVES
		The first chapter, by Christian Tomuschat, is a valid introduction to “Secession and self–determination.” Tomuschat opens with the enlargement ratione personae of the principle of self-determination for all peoples in the international community (though, “primarily designed to foster the decolonization process”: p.23).
		She concludes her contribution, unequivocally stating that, “while one might hope that international law on secession is morally progressive, a minimal realism is warranted, given States” preoccupation with internal security and regional stability” (p.350).
		In conclusion, the contributors coherently instruct their intended audience that it would be erroneous to proclaim that secession violates the principle of State territorial integrity, for this term applies only in international relations.
