Abstract:

This paper deals with the evolution of the American foreign policy towards unilateral secession from the cold war to the post-cold war. It also produces empirical generalizations about the United States' reaction to secessionist attempts, and general statements concerning the political process leading the US to grant international recognition to secessionist movements. Using a case-oriented research analysis of the secession of Bangladesh, and of Slovenia and Croatia, I demonstrate that the American policy of recognition has evolved over years. Short term power politics during the cold war was the crucial factor undermining the American policy towards secession. Though, the end of the cold war marked a shift in the U.S. policy of recognition. As empirical evidences show, the current unipolar order makes the United States very concerned about regional stability when dealing with secessionist issues.
