This comprehensive book examines the crucial connections between
national identity, territory, and scale. Providing a powerful
theoretical and organizational framework, the volume identifies
four ways in which scale operates dynamically in the formation and
maintenance of national identity. Consolidating identities
considers the strategies necessary to keep all parts within the
fold through educational systems, minority policies, immigration
controls, and other forms of traditional state power. Magnifying
identities examines the consequences of shifting the scale up and
unifying territories that have a sense of a larger, supranational
identity. Connecting identities assesses how nations can bridge
physical distance, water barriers, or sovereign boundaries.
Fragmenting identities looks into the disintegration of national
identities and those forces that have the potential to unravel a
nation or block its effective formation. Nationalism and national
identity remain critical flashpoints in the geopolitical order, as
we have seen in the development of a quasi-independent Kurdistan in
Northern Iraq, the resurgence of Native American identities in
response to the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Chinese crackdown
on its minority regions. Offering a rich set of case studies from
around the world, this essential book affirms the global importance
of national identity and scale.
