Nationalism was declared to be dead too early. A postnational age
was announced, and liberalism claimed to have been victorious by
the end of the Cold War. At the same time postnational order was
proclaimed in which transnational alliances like the European Union
were supposed to become more important in international relations.
But we witnessed the rise a strong nationalism during the early
21st century instead, and right wing parties are able to gain more
and more votes in elections that are often characterized by
nationalist agendas. This volume shows how nationalist dreams and
fears alike determine politics in an age that was supposed to
witness a rather peaceful coexistence by those who consider
transnational ideas more valuable than national demands. It will
deal with different case studies to show why and how nationalism
made its way back to the common consciousness and which elements
stimulated the re-establishment of the aggressive nation state. The
volume will therefore look at the continuities of empire, actual
and imagined, the role of "foreign-" and "otherness" for
nationalist narratives, and try to explain how globalization
stimulated the rise of 21st century nationalisms as well.
