Reviews
""…an important book that breaks new ground in analyzing the dynamics among the great powers that determine the prospects and patterns of collective action to defuse ethnic conflict in smaller states."" — Perspectives on Politics ""Fascinating to read, enormously thorough, detailed, and authoritative in a huge range of topics. Steiner has taken a complicated subject and, in several case studies that span two centuries, carefully arrived at conclusions that can be a guide to current and future action and understanding."" — I. William Zartman, coeditor of Peacemaking in International Conflict: Methods and Techniques ""A fine study, which fills an important gap in the literature of the past decade on preventive diplomacy and related problems."" — Alexander L. George, coauthor of Presidential Personality and Performance
