Abstract
For my thesis, 1 chose to focus on secession conflicts. More specifically, I wanted to examine the prominent theoretical approaches to explain secession conflicts, and use those theories to frame my own examination of the secession conflicts in Abkhazia, Kosovo, and Timor-Leste. With this in mind, the basic goal of my thesis was to identify factors commonly used to explain the emergence of secessionist movements, and then determine if other explanatory factors might also be applied to secessionist movements. This topic has interested me for sometime. Before settling on this specific focus, [ had contemplated focusing on genocide or ethnic violence. Looking into those topics led me to further literature on secession. This, coupled with Kosovo's declaration of independence in 200R, brought me to my specific topic.
