The Nation and Nationalism in Europe : An Introduction Hardback
by Ireneusz Pawel Karolewski, Andrzej Marcin Suszycki
Hardback
Description
This book offers an overview of the contending approaches to the nation and nationalism, in a European context.
Part One explores a wide variety of theoretical perspectives including the controversial issue of theoretical dichotomy (civic versus ethnic nationalism) and attempts to overcome it.
Part Two introduces three types of nationalism: as ideology, social movement and attitude, allowing for a systematic treatment of sub-state and central state nationalism.
The final Part looks at European nationalism in practice, offering new empirical findings from both in-depth single country cases and cross-country comparisons.
