How do states respond to minority nations' demands? Are state
nationalism and majority nationalism the same? This book brings
together the leading lights in nationalism studies to turn their
attention to the neglected role of the state in nationalist
disputes. The aspirations of state and majority nationalists often
conflict with the aspirations of substate nationalist movements,
leading to disputes over resources, symbolic recognition, and the
structure of the state. State elites are then forced to supply
arguments defending the political union and to articulate
strategies for its continuation. In the process, they make explicit
what being 'national' means and the symbolic repertoires for doing
so. With case studies from China, Spain, the United Kingdom,
Canada, India, and Nepal, this edited volume examines state and
majority nationalism in all its guises, asking how states respond
to nationalist challenges from below. It is particularly timely at
a moment when territorial and secessionist crises are reshaping
politics. State and Majority Nationalism in Plurinational States
will be relevant reading for students and researchers of
comparative politics and international relations, including those
with a deep interest in territorial politics, national identities,
group rights, and representation. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of Nationalism and Ethnic
Politics.
