European Nations : Explaining Their Formation Hardback

Hardback

Description

One of the world's leading theorists of nationalism offers a new synthesisIn the history of modern political thought, no topics have attracted as much attention as nationalism, nation-formation, and patriotism.

A mass of literature has grown around these vexed issues, muddying the waters, and a level-headed clarification is long overdue. Rather than adding another theory of nationalism to this maelstrom of ideas, Miroslav Hroch has created a remarkable synthesis, integrating apparently competing frameworks into a coherent system that tracks the historical genesis of European nations through the sundry paths of the nation-forming processes of the nineteenth century.

Combining a comparative perspective on nation-formation with invaluable theoretical insights, European Nations is essential for anyone who wants to understand the historical roots of Europe's current political crisis.
