Nationalism and Multiple Modernities: Europe and Beyond explores
new horizons in the study of nationalism by examining the modernity
of nationalism with the theory of multiple modernities. The theory
of multiple modernities has triggered a renewed debate on modernity
by proposing a non-Western centric approach to the study of
modernity. The volume applies the concept of multiple modernities
to the study of nationalism and proposes a reformulation of
nationalism as a form of cultural programmes that reflects enhanced
human reflexivity. Three cases - Anglo-British, Finnish and
Japanese - are investigated to examine the ways in which
nationalism embodies an exercise of human agency. The volume
commends the human-agency centred approach to nationalism as a way
of avoiding Western-centricity in a social scientific
investigation. Based on its examination of the three cases the
volume suggests new directions in research into the relationship
between nationalism and religion, non-Western cases of nationalism
and 'Europe' as a cosmopolitan orientation.
