Combining historical perspective and theoretical analysis, this
book provides an overview of modern nationalism. The text explores
the recent developments in eastern and central Europe that have
given the subject of nationalism a new significance. The author
also addresses many of the debates that have arisen in current
historiography and re-evaluates his own position. The book
considers nationalism as a form of politics which arises in
opposition to the modern state. In this light it is revealed as an
appropriate way of advancing the interests of elites, social groups
and other governments against a modern state. The author asserts
that rather than emerging from a cultural sense of national
identity, nationalism creates a sense of identity. He supports his
argument with a broad-ranging analysis of a variety of examples -
national opposition in early modern Europe; the unification
movement in Germany, Italy and Poland; separatism under the
Hapsburg and Ottoman empires; fascism in Germany, Italy and
Romania; post-war anti-colonialism and the nationalist resurgence
following the breakdown of Soviet power.
