The Paris Peace Conference was a unique moment of global consolidation. Politicians, diplomats, and experts were confronted with the tension between the new universal principles of world revolution, world democracy, and the national right of self-determination, on the one side, and special circumstances and local contexts, on the other. This unique situation and its consequences form the subject of the essays in this volume.
