  • Discusses minority protection under the League of Nations, the atomic question in the aftermath of World War II, the Falklands War, parliamentary debates during the Iraq War, and relationships between the UK and European Parliaments
  • Makes use of new data from analysis of parliamentary debates, archival sources, and media accounts
