Beyond Versailles - Sovereignty, Legitimacy, and the Formation of New Polities after the Great War (Hardcover)

The settlement of Versailles was more than a failed peace. What was
debated at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919-1920 hugely
influenced how nations and empires, sovereignty, and the
international order were understood after the Great War-and into
the present. Beyond Versailles argues that this transformation of
ideas was not the work of the treaty makers alone, but emerged in
interaction with nationalist groups, anti-colonial movements, and
regional elites who took up the rhetoric of Paris and made it their
own. In shifting the spotlight from the palace of Versailles to the
peripheries of Europe, Beyond Versailles turns to the treaties'
resonance on the ground and shows why the principles of the peace
settlement meant different things in different locales. It was in
places a long way from Paris-in Polish borderlands and in
Portuguese colonies, in contested spaces like Silesia, Teschen and
Danzig, and in states emerging from imperial collapse like Austria,
Egypt, and Iran-that notions of nation and sovereignty, legitimacy,
and citizenship were negotiated and contested.
