Political Loyalty and the Nation-State examines the gradual
weakening of the state's ability to order the political allegiances
of its subjects. At the focal centre of the book lies the question
of the extent to which it is possible to invest political
principles, such as the rules and procedures of democracy, with a
sentiment of loyalty and whether political loyalty can become
merely a matter of choice and personal responsibility. The authors
consider theoretical issues, problems of loyalty arising from
population movement and case studies of conflicts of loyalty from
Italy, Northern Ireland, and Russia. It is shown that loyalty can
become decoupled from state, territory and nation; that loyalties
can be multiple; and that today's loyalties reflect advanced
attitudes towards difference.
