This article presents post-Habsburg central and eastern Europe as the flagship campus of the new international order of 1919. It shows how the international project of imperial liquidation, and the predicament of the successor states, produced a wide range of new international schemes, techniques, and frameworks—spanning the economy, crime, humanitarianism, and rights—that significantly shaped the global governance of today. Where historians customarily trace the implications of imperial collapse for the region's nationalization, I focus instead on internationalization. I isolate three different “border effects” in which the boundaries of sovereignty were reworked or challenged. International authority and jurisdiction grew and thrived on the sorts of qualified sovereignty that emerged in empire's wake.

中欧作为新国际秩序的归零地

本文将后哈布斯堡后中欧和东欧展示为 1919 年国际新秩序的旗舰校园。它展示了帝国清算的国际计划以及继承国的困境如何产生了一系列新的国际计划和技术和框架——跨越经济、犯罪、人道主义和权利——显着塑造了当今的全球治理。历史学家通常会追溯帝国崩溃对该地区国有化的影响，而我则关注国际化。我分离出三种不同的“边界效应”，其中主权边界被重新设计或挑战。国际权威和管辖权在帝国之后出现的那种合格的主权之上发展壮大。
