rnNeera Chandhoke on her latest book »Contested Secession«

rnrnIn her new book Contested Secessions. Rights, Self-determination, Democracy and Kashmir (Oxford University Press) the famous Indian political philosopher Neera Chandhoke turns to the problem of Kashmir struggeling for independence while simultaniously having a very diverse population. She regards the social contract between the people in the Kashmir region and their government as broken and points out, that the efforts of secession make the solution of how to deal with the minorities in this region theoretically almost unreachable. In this brief video she provides a short insight into the arguments of her book and describes the theoretical ankle from which she adresses the issue of secession and self-determination.rnrn
