The establishment of new frontiers in Europe was one of the most significant results of the two World Wars. The proceedings of two international conferences, in Strasbourg and Montréal, treat this question from a comparative historical point of view. This book not only deals with the purely diplomatic sphere but also includes the economic, cultural, social, and political dimensions of frontier changes.
These proceedings analyze the impact of public opinion on contemporary international relations. They also illustrate the global aspects of European politics as well as the role of outside states in the alteration of Europe's borders and in the quest for a new power balance in the two postwar periods.
