This phenomenon came to be known as \u003ci\u003eirredentism\u003c\/i\u003e. During the Cold War, irredentist projects were largely subordinated to the ideological struggle between East and West. After the Cold War, however, the international system has witnessed a proliferation of such conflicts throughout Europe and Asia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmbrosio integrates both domestic and international factors to explain both the initiation and settlement of irredentist conflicts. His central argument is that irredentist states confront two potentially contradictory forces: domestic nationalism and pressure from the international community. Irredentist leaders are forced to reconcile their nationalist policies with pressures from the international plane. At the same time, irredentist leaders exploit perceived windows of opportunity in pursuit of their nationalist goals. Ambrosio examines in depth the past, present, and possible irredentist projects of Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, and Armenia within a theoretical and comparative framework. His conclusions yield signficant theoretical findings and important policy implications for both scholars of ethnic conflicts, nationalism, and international relations and policy makers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHOMAS AMBROSIO is Assistant Professor of Political Science, North Dakota State University.\/e He has published book reviews and articles in international journals, chapters in numerous books, and is co-editor of \u003ci\u003eInternational Law and the Rise of Nations: The State System and the Challenge of Ethnic Groups\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.92 x 9.54 x 6.22 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 30, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53377631125811,"sku":"9780275972608","price":187.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/sxRf1-9yjK9780275972608.webp?v=1779326002","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/irredentism-ethnic-conflict-and-international-politics-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
