Was wondering how people feel about groups of people demanding their own country.
How should this problem be tackled?
For example:
Should the Kurds be allowed to create an independent state after the Iraqi carve-up?
What sort of credentials are required for such a move?
Is it necessary for a people to have had a country in the past (This would rule out the Kurds, but ratify the Irish position)
If the creation of such a state destabilises a region should it be endorsed or even encouraged? (think Yugoslavia 1990 onwards)
Should global policy begin to move away from the notion of nation states as a sensible way to govern?
Is it reasonable for the neighbouring countries to have a say in how any new adjacent state is created and run?
Man, those Normans sure fucked up our relationship to the land, didn’t they. |
