- Double-weighted statement
- The double-weighting request reflects the unusual level of effort that underpinned the research for a 580 page volume: (a) It involved two sets of international borders and their impact of state-making in four countries (b) It entailed archival research in each of the four countries concerned as well as in the British and French national archives (c) much of the book was based on interviews and participant observation in and around the two sets of borders (d) the chronological depth covered the period from the mid-eighteenth century to the present. The initial research commenced in 2000.
