"A first-rate volume... The fourteen contributors are well-informed, measured, and at times provocative... The authors' careful melding of theoretical issues and broadly conceived analyses of policy responses make their volume a worthy addition to the literature."-Choice "This is a good book by the top international legal scholars."-Thomas Ambrosio, Ethnic Conflict Research Digest "Highly readable, extremely well put together, and makes a real contribution to the debate on how to deal with ethnic conflict."-International Affairs "A cohesive and academically rigorous examination of the role and potential role of international law in ethnic disputes."-Nationalism and Ethnic Politics "The essays compiled by David Wippman in International Law and Ethnic Conflict remind us of the fragility of the premises of the new international legal regime that our generation and the one that follows are destined to create. It is without our power, as political beings and as participants in the genesis of that regime, to stamp out the arrogance threatens its-and by extension, our-survival. If there is a moral imperative for international lawyers in our age, it lies here."-Steven M. Schneebaum, Human Rights and Human Welfare "Arguments advanced by the various authors in this book bring into sharp relief many of the questions that will continue to be posed as we enter the twenty-first century, and they offer a valuable framework for policy debates among lawyers, politicians, military strategists, and the new breed of conflict resolution experts."-Hurst Hannum, Tufts University "Under David Wippman's able editorship, this book is a useful work that constitutes a significant contribution to scholarship in the field of international law and ethnic conflict."-Richard B. Bilder, University of Wisconsin
