The dominance of nationalism as ideology and the resurgence of
nationalist and ethnic conflict since the end of the Cold War both
demand further analysis of the complex interplay between nation,
state, sovereignty and self determination. Contrary to many
commentators who regard nationalism today merely as an atavistic
counter-modernist experience, Cherry Bradshaw places the phenomenon
of nationalism squarely within the continuing Enlightenment project
and brings together political theory, history, anthropology and
international relations in order to investigate the appeal and the
dangers of nationalism in contemporary world politics. This is
critical reading for those interested in ethics, political theory
and philosophy, human rights and political sociology.
