Abstract
This article offers an anthropological perspective on international relations by studying ‘macro-structures’ as the effects of elite-conducted contingent practices. It draws on Der Derian’s genealogical explanation of diplomacy as a second-order mediation among ‘estranged states’. This view sets up the argument that national minorities are constructed as international security concerns within diplomatic discourse because they obstruct nation-states from mutually securing themselves through diplomacy. Thus, each state has a vested interest in supporting other states as stable actors with established national identities. As Others in the nation-state, national minorities threaten the inter-state system as they destabilize any given nation-state’s identity as a diplomatic actor. This situation ostensibly obstructs diplomacy whereby European nation-states seek mutual security by approximating the putative pre-Westphalian unity from which they emerged after Christendom’s collapse. The argument is demonstrated through a critical analysis of post-Second World War international agreements and ethnographic research among western diplomats working on Estonia’s minority integration policy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
