Abstract: SUMMARY: В фокусе статьи Лилианы Риги и Джеймса Кеннеди – группа американских интеллектуалов, известных как “The Inquiry” (“расследование”), к которым Президент США Вильсон обратился за экспертной помощью в определении послевоенных границ в Европе на основе принципа национального самоопределения.

Gellner 1997a: chapter 6).…”
