POG 100 - PROPOSAL
This proposal will rebuttal against the resolved issue of Week 6: “State break up is better than federalism in resolving internal state conflict.”
Neither the concepts of economic dispute nor social injustice can fully explain the cause of state breakups. This essay argues the reasons why state breakup is not better than federalism to resolve state conflict because it leaves a majority of negative impacts, such as, corruption of state, revocation of citizenship rights and leads to economic decline.

Frye’s journal observes how breakup of state creates citizenship issues where the citizens are moved to the “fringe of society” by having their social and political rights revoked. Frye’s observation supports my argument because it clearly defines why state breakups should be avoided since they create major problems, such as a lack of simple citizenship rights.
Majority in former Soviet states believe breakup was harmful mistake – poll. (2013, December 21). Retrieved October 9, 2015.
This news article provides solid evidence from a recent poll held in the former Soviet States and shows how after two decades, citizens in these states are realizing that the breakup of the Soviet Union has created nothing but more problems. This poll backs up my thesis by providing the statistics from 11 out of 15 Soviet States, which all agree upon how harmful the breakup of the Soviet Union was, thus, it should have been avoided.

Hale comments on how Russia’s economy remained stable compared to USSR because Russia is an oil supplier to many countries, whereas the USSR was not. This adds to my thesis because it shows that the splitting of state not only splits apart the economy, but also the resources.

In this news article, Wagan highlights the negative economic outcomes Quebec will have to face if it decides to split from Canada and become a separate state. Some of those outcomes are public debt, fiscal transfers and issues with monetary policy. Wagan also brings awareness to the fact that after the separation Quebec will have a debt-to-GDP ratio of 92 percent, higher than that of the United States. This article supports my thesis because it clearly outlines the outcomes and prices a new state has to pay, both literally and figuratively.
