    Introduction: Segment States in the Developing World
    in Ethnopolitics , Volume 13, Issue 1, 2014 ,  2014 ,  1-12
    Abstract Philip Roeder's Where Nation-states Come From: Institutional Change in the Age of Nationalism identifies a causal relationship between the creation of segment states within a country's borders and the heightened likelihood of both nation-state crises and state disintegration. This paper provides a summary of the key aspects of Roeder's theoretical argument. It also introduces the four country case studies that appear later in this volume, considering how they may serve as a means to evaluate the degree to which Roeder's theory provides an accurate depiction of the political dynamics within countries that contain segment states.
