1. The literature on the challenges of self-determination is voluminous. One work that attempts to be an "off-the-shelf" guide for policy makers on the issue is Morton H. Halperin, David J. Scheffer, and Patricia L. Small's Self-Determination in the New World Order (Washington: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 1992).
2. The body of work on the Paris Peace Conference and the implications of Versailles is equally large. Sir Harold George Nicholson's contemporaneous account of the negotiations, Peacemaking 1919 (New York: Harcourt, Brace & Co., 1939), still stands the test of time. Henry Kissinger's Diplomacy (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1994) is the prevailing account of the struggle between "idealism" and "realism" in American diplomacy, as defined by caricatures of Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt. In The Warrior and the Priest: Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt (Cambridge, Mass.: Belknap Press of Harvard University, 1983), John Milton Cooper provides a more nuanced perspective of the so-called Wilson/TR dichotomy.

5. For a look at how globalization is affecting the creation and dissolution of nation-states, see Juan Enriquez's "Too Many Flags?" (FOREIGN POLICY, Fall 1999). Isaiah Berlin's "Bent Twig: On the Rise of Nationalism" reprinted in his The Crooked Timber of Humanity Chapters in the History of Ideas (New York: Knopf, distributed by Random House, 1991), provides a trenchant and enduring analysis of nationalism. Stephen Krasner's Sovereignty: Organized Hypocrisy (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1999) provocatively suggests that states have never been as sovereign as many have supposed and outlines a new taxonomy of different "sovereignties." Krasner's concluding chapter is a cogent response to the conventional wisdom about globalization's challenges to the state, as argued most prominently by Thomas Friedman in The Lexus and the Olive Tree (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1999).

9. Mark Mazower's Dark Continent: Europe's Twentieth Century (New York: Knopf, distributed by Random House, 1999) discusses many of these issues as they relate to the last 60 years of European history. In Turkey's Kurdish Question (Lanham: Rowan & Littlefield, 1998), Henri J. Barkey and Graham E. Fuller provide one of the best recent accounts of this self-determination struggle. For a fascinating analysis of Canada's modern predicament, drawn from experiences of the United States' own struggle with self-determination during the Civil War period, see James M. McPherson's Is Blood Thicker Than Water?: Crises of Nationalism in the Modern World (New York: Vintage Books, 1999). Noel Malcolm's Kosovo: A Short History (New York: New York University Press, 1998) and Bosnia: A Short History (New York: New York University Press, 1996) are essential to understanding the recent catastrophe in the Balkans. For more by the author on the specific case of Kosovo, see Strobe Talbott's "The Balkan Question and the European Answer" (Speech at the Aspen Institute, August 24, 1999). On Indonesia, Adam Schwarz's A Nation in Waiting: Indonesia's Search for Stability (Boulder: Westview Press, 2000) offers an excellent introduction to that country's current challenges. The best account of Russia's first war in Chechnya is Anatol Lieven's Chechnya: Tombstone of Russian Power (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1999). For two views on the current crisis, and the challenges facing Russia, see Deputy Secretary Talbott's "The Crooked Timber: A Carpenter's Perspective" (Speech at Oxford University, January 21, 2000) and Sergei Kovalev's "Putin's War" (New York Review of Books, February 10, 2000).
