Resumen:
We defend the moral and legal right to secede in accordance with
plebiscitary theory. Our paper has three main goals. First, by offering
a schematic characterization of plebiscitary theory, the main arguments
in its favour (and the main objections to them), we contribute to
clarify the structure of this complex debate. Second, we stress the
point that, if the moral right to secede is established, the resistance
for its inclusion into positive law is unjustified. Finally, by
addressing old and new objections to plebiscitary theory, we hope to
make a compelling case for a wider recognition of secessionist rights.
