John Stuart Mill's thought has been central in recent (as well as
older) works of political theory discussing the relationship
between liberal democratic politics and nationality or nationalism
-- which is far from surprising, given his undisputed influence on
liberal attitudes towards nationality from the 1860s to the
present. This book provides the first thorough critical study of
the attitude of this pillar of the liberal tradition towards
nationality, nationhood, patriotism, cosmopolitanism,
intervention/non-intervention, and international politics more
generally. Based on exhaustive research in a great range or
writings by Mill, as well as by his contemporaries and later
students, it establishes for the first time clearly and subtly
where exactly Mill stood with regard to nationhood, nationalism,
patriotism, cosmopolitanism, national self-determination,
intervention/non-intervention and other important issues in
international ethics. It thus exposes and challenges all sorts of
misconceptions, half-truths, or myths surrounding Mill's views on,
and attitude towards, nationality and related issues in a vast
literature from the mid-nineteenth to the beginning of the
twenty-first century. At the same time, it offers a timely
contribution to contemporary debates among political theorists on
the relationship between liberal democratic values and nationalism,
patriotism and cosmopolitanism, not least through its articulation
of a distinct sense in which patriotism and cosmopolitanism can be
compatible and mutually reinforcing (based on Varouxakis's
interpretation of Mill's thought on this question). The reader will
find critical discussions of the pronouncements on some of the
issues examined (or on Mill's contributions to them) of some of the
most important late-twentieth-century political theorists as well
as of contemporaries or near-contemporaries of Mill.
