Corsica’s national self-determination movement revived in 1970s. Although
this movement has lasted for over thirty years, Corsica has not yet got the
autonomous rights or independent status today. This article argues that this
predicament is caused by the following five obstacles: the divisions and murders
among the nationalists, the suppression and appeasement policies adopted by the
French governments, the gradual loss of Corsica’s population, the challenge of
traditional clans, and the lack of international support. Among the obstacles
mentioned above, the author believes that the first obstacle is the most critical,
since it not only weakened the power of national self-determination movement
but also resulted in the loss of Corsicans’ support. Therefore, Corsica’s
nationalists should first overcome it if they want this movement to get out of the
present predicament. |
