Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Doctrine of National Self-Determination Volume 1 is a comprehensive study of the theory and practice of plebiscites, written by Sarah Wambaugh and originally published in 1919. The book explores the concept of national self-determination, which was a key principle of the post-World War I peace settlement, and examines the role of plebiscites in achieving this goal. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a theoretical overview of the doctrine of national self-determination, tracing its origins and development from the French Revolution to the present day. Wambaugh examines the various arguments for and against national self-determination, and considers its implications for international law and politics. The second part of the book focuses on the practice of plebiscites, which were seen as a means of determining the wishes of populations in disputed territories. Wambaugh provides a detailed analysis of the various plebiscites that took place in Europe after World War I, including those in Alsace-Lorraine, Schleswig, and Upper Silesia. She examines the legal and political issues surrounding these plebiscites, and assesses their success or failure in achieving the principle of national self-determination. Overall, The Doctrine of National Self-Determination Volume 1 is an important work of international law and politics, providing a detailed analysis of the theory and practice of plebiscites and their role in the post-World War I peace settlement.With A Collection Of Official Documents.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
