Waves of Democracy and Secessionist Conflict

民主和分裂主义之间的关系是什么？这个项目旨在研究民主化释放分离主义力量的理论，这些力量在没有成熟的民主制度的情况下可能会变成暴力。因此，民主的浪潮带来了分离主义冲突的浪潮。该项目通过对分离主义的统计分析，并结合对缅甸、巴布亚新几内亚和西班牙这三个政权类型不同的国家的案例研究，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排序的政策选择提供信息。

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.
