Give one example (e.g. Scotland, Catalonia, Texas, French Canada, the Basque Region, Uighurstan in western China, southern Mexico, the Kurds, northeastern Mali, or one of your choosing) of a current secessionist movement and describe the current state of play.
a. Who is in support of independence and who is against this decentralization? What are some of the tactics used by independence movements and anti-independence nationalists to support their causes?
b. What is the economic self-interest involved for those for and against secession in the example you have chosen? This section should use at least one external reference (wiki is acceptable in this case) from where the student gained information on a secessionist movement.
