The League of Nations
Author: George Gill
Publisher: Avery
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
This volume focuses on the final years of the League of Nations - from 1929 to 1946 - a time of political violence, growing nationalism, and war. Author George Gill recounts these turbulent years, providing readers with a fascinating chronicle of this period. Gill's incisively written essay examines the decline of the League. The rise of brutal dictators, the erosion of international unity, and the failure of world leaders are all part of his mosaic. Special insets throughout the text highlight pivotal incidents, key documents offer the words that made history, and numerous photographs recapture the spirit of a time past. His book also offers a chronology of major world events so that League history and the wider global context are intermeshed. Gill demonstrates how the League died an agonizing death, yet makes clear how the larger cause of world cooperation survived into a new, and more dangerous, era.

Ethnic Bargaining
Author: Erin K. Jenne
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 0801471796
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Ethnic Bargaining introduces a theory of minority politics that blends comparative analysis and field research in the postcommunist countries of East Central Europe with insights from rational choice. Erin K. Jenne finds that claims by ethnic minorities have become more frequent since 1945 even though nation-states have been on the whole more responsive to groups than in earlier periods. Minorities that perceive an increase in their bargaining power will tend to radicalize their demands, she argues, from affirmative action to regional autonomy to secession, in an effort to attract ever greater concessions from the central government.The language of self-determination and minority rights originally adopted by the Great Powers to redraw boundaries after World War I was later used to facilitate the process of decolonization. Jenne believes that in the 1960s various ethnic minorities began to use the same discourse to pressure national governments into transfer payments and power-sharing arrangements. Violence against minorities was actually in some cases fueled by this politicization of ethnic difference.Jenne uses a rationalist theory of bargaining to examine the dynamics of ethnic cleavage in the cases of the Sudeten Germans in interwar Czechoslovakia; Slovaks and Moravians in postcommunist Czechoslovakia; the Hungarians in Romania, Slovakia, and Vojvodina; and the Albanians in Kosovo. Throughout, she challenges the conventional wisdom that partisan intervention is an effective mechanism for protecting minorities and preventing or resolving internal conflict.
