当前围绕脱离联邦的规范性问题的讨论既有帮助，也有阻碍，因为只有一种哲学方法对这些问题进行了充分系统和全面的处理，足以成为脱离联邦的理论--艾伦·布坎南的理论。他提供了一个独特的焦点，从而简化了那些试图从目前的艺术状态开始的人的任务，但在提供独特的焦点时，布坎南使那些看待或认为他们看待分离的人的任务复杂化，而这些人的看法与他不同。他为“脱离的道德权利”辩护，但这是一种非常有限制的权利，关注的是国家犯下的不公正，群体文化的保护，以及在极端情况下群体成员的字面生存（152- 153）。布坎南进一步坚持认为，在群体文化的保存受到威胁的情况下，“国家或任何第三方都没有对分离领土的有效要求”--或者放弃这种要求，这样“为了保存文化而分离是允许的，如果双方同意的话”--他认为这一条件可能适用于魁北克的情况。
Current discussion of the normative issues surrounding secession is both helped and hindered by the existence of but one philosophic treatment of these issues sufficiently systematic and comprehensive to qualify as a theory of secession - Allen Buchanan’s. He provides the unique focal point, and so simplifies the task of those who seek to begin from the present state of the art. But in providing the unique focal point, Buchanan complicates the task of those who view, or think they view, secession rather differently than he does. He defends ’a moral right to secede’ but a very qualified right, focusing on state-perpetrated injustice, the preservation of group culture and, in extreme cases, the literal survival of group members (152-3). And Buchanan further insists that where preservation of group culture is at stake, ’Neither the state nor any third party has a valid claim to the seceding territory’ -or such a claim is waived so that ’secession in order to preserve a culture is permissible if both parties consent to it’- a condition that he thinks may come to apply to the situation of Quebec.
