Abstract

This article analyzes possible procedures for political secession.
After a literature review of theories of secession, the article presents
the main arguments against and for secession. Than, on the basis of
“no-fault” theory, this article proposes a procedure for secession.
Furthermore, this procedure is empirically tested through analyses of
secessions from former Yugoslavia. The main hypothesis is that secession is justified in two cases: first, when secession occurs as a result of consensus of all the main actors, including central government, and, second, when at least two-third majority of population supports secession.
