What is the relationship between democracy and secessionism? This project aims to investigate the theory that democratisation unleashes secessionist forces that are likely to turn violent in the absence of mature democratic institutions. Thus, waves of democracy yield waves of secessionist conflict. Through a statistical analysis of secessionism combined with case studies in three countries with dissimilar regime types - Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, and Spain - the project aims to study the relationship between democratic institutions and secessionist outcomes. The project aims to contribute to our understanding of the unintended consequences of democratisation and inform policy choices regarding the introduction and sequencing of democratic institutions.

民主主义和分裂主义的关系是什么？这个项目旨在调查这样一种理论，即在缺乏成熟的民主制度的情况下，民主化会释放分裂主义力量，这些分裂主义力量可能会转向暴力。因此，民主浪潮催生了分裂主义冲突浪潮。通过对分离主义的统计分析，结合缅甸、巴布亚新几内亚和西班牙三个不同政权类型国家的案例研究，该项目旨在研究民主制度与分离主义结果之间的关系。该项目旨在促进我们对民主化的意外后果的理解，并为有关民主制度的引入和顺序的政策选择提供信息。
