- Tribe, Nation, World: Self-Identification in the Evolving International System [Abstract]
| Thomas M. Franck | 12/04/1997
Appeals to nationalism based on a common sociocultural, geographic, and linguistic heritage are reactions against expansions of trade, information, and power - and anomie and xenophobia can be countered by giving substatal ethnicities, minorities and political parties a voice and a vote. - Modernity and Minority Nationalism: Commentary on Thomas Franck [Abstract]
| Will Kymlicka | 12/04/1997

| Roger T. Ames | 12/04/1997

| Roger Paden | 12/04/1997

| Mahmood Monshipouri | 12/04/1997

| Robert J. Myers | 12/04/1997
