Campbell emphasizes the interplay of theory and evidence, as theorists respond to empirical puzzles by developing models with new...

"John Campbell's book was written as a sequel to "The Black Star Passes" . . . and believe me, it was a world-beater in those days.

During the war Ethiopia arrested and expelled 70,000 of its citizens, and stripped another 50,000-plus of their citzenship on the basis of their presumed ethnicity.

The core issue examined is the link between sovereignty and...
