摘要

When faced with secessionists, states essentially respond in one of two ways: with negotiations, concessions and limited levels of violence, or with repression and large-scale violence. What explains this variation? I argue that governments respond more harshly if they perceive that the movement represents an external security threat, or a challenge from without.;My theory proposes two causal pathways to repression and large-scale violence: the external threat can be either direct and in the future, or indirect and in the present.;When an ethnic minority wins its own state, it attains capabilities that are unique to centralized states, such as the ability to raise a military or trade with allies, amongst others. If it secedes, the minority gains these capabilities and is thus more able to hurt the host state's security. In this situation, a host state forecasts into the future to gauge how the ethnic group might use its new-found capabilities. If the host state believes that the ethnic group will challenge its security after independence, it would want to nip the threat in the bud, and respond with repression and violence.;The host state may also perceive that the secessionists are part of an alliance with an external rival. In this situation, the movement is seen by the state as part of an external conflict, and its followers as fifth columnists. The central conflict is between the host state and a global or regional rival; the ethnic minority is a participant on the side of the rival, or at least perceived as such, for reasons ranging from realpolitik to ethnic affinity. Under these circumstances, a demand or declaration of independence by the ethnic group can be perceived as the handiwork of the rival abroad, the idea being that the rival is seeking to weaken the host state from within.;I use controlled comparisons of historical case studies of secessionist movements to test my theory. I examine the Pakistani responses in Bengal and Balochistan in the 1970s, variation across time in the Ottoman treatment of Armenian nationalists under the Young Turk regime, and the differing levels of violence in India's treatment of ethno-nationalists in Assam, Punjab, and Kashmir. I also briefly consider whether the external security argument can explain two completely peaceful secessions – Norway-Sweden and Czechoslovakia.
