Discussing contemporary variants of self-determination-crises,Danspeckgruber argues that "[t]here is a growing sense that self-determination and autonomy ought not necessarily and automatically cause the break up of sovereign states. Rather,at least in most cases,there is increasing interest in the introduction of self-governance - the maximization of autonomy - and further decentralization." [13] "The Arab Spring,and many of the other intrastate crises we face today demonstrate the critical meaning of 'determining one's destiny'.",Danspeckgruber in Joerg Fisch,The world divided. Self-Determination and the Right of Peoples to Self-Determination,Oldenbourg,2011.
