The Plebiscite Problem (Classic Reprint): On the Application of the Rights of Peoples to the Alsace-Lorraine Question - Softcover
Synopsis
The Plebiscite Problem lays out a clear case for how the rights of nations have shaped the modern fate of Alsace and Lorraine. This work argues that the question of return to France rests on a legal, not just political, claim, and it compares the plebiscite approach to other historic solutions.
The text traces a long history of France’s commitment to national self‑determination while examining how occupation, treaties, and hostile power dynamics interact with that principle. It explains why a straightforward vote may not capture the full scope of what “rights of nations” means in this particular case, and it weighs different paths for reconciling history with present realities.
- How the rights of nations have influenced French policy and European diplomacy
- Why a plebiscite is not always the simplest or only solution
- Arguments about legitimate claims, occupation, and judicial rights
- A historical lens on the Alsace-Lorraine question and its modern implications
Ideal for readers of political history, international law, and 19th–20th century European affairs who want a focused, legally grounded discussion of nationalism and self‑determination.
