Abstract

This book aims to show that in many regions throughout the world, partially independent territories such as Scotland, Catalonia, and Puerto Rico tend to be wealthier and more secure than their sovereign state counterparts. Gary Wilson feels that the most powerful contribution offered by the book is that it offers a compelling case against secession by demonstrating the various advantages of “partial independence” in relation to independent statehood.
