	American Negotiating Behavior April 2010 \| Book by Richard H. Solomon and Nigel Quinney Informed by discussions and interviews with more than fifty seasoned foreign and American negotiators, this landmark study offers a rich and detailed portrait of the negotiating practices of American officials.

	Why We Should Still Study the Cuban Missile Crisis June 2008 \| Special Report by Michael Dobbs Few events have been as studied and analyzed as the Cuban missile crisis.

	Sovereignty after Empire: Self-Determinationa Movements in the Former Soviet Union November 1997 \| Peaceworks by Galina Starovoitova This report examines the prominent self-determination movements in the former Soviet Union and arrives at some tentative criteria that could be used to assess their legitimacy.

Countries: Soviet Union (USSR)
