The twentieth century has seen the emergence of new states shaped
on the classic nation-state model. What have been the implications
for minorities in these new nation-states? How have minorities
responded to nationalising processes generated by the state's
self-definition? In order to answer these two questions the book
offers an innovative perspective on the complex interactions
between national minorities and newly established nation-states.
Starting with a novel discussion by Rogers Brubaker of his concept
of nationalising state, the authors of the book further discuss
this model by using a large array of diverse cases such as Moldova,
Ukraine, Turkey, Malaysia and Israel. These contributions shed
light on common trends in relation to state-building processes,
citizenship, rights of national minorities and their mobilisation.
The original theoretical framework, combined with a comparative
approach, challenges our understanding of these crucial issues. "A
group of young scholars, under the intellectual patronage of Rogers
Brubaker, have undertaken the challenging task of disentangling the
complex relationships between newly nationalising states and their
national minorities, mainly in Eastern and Central Europe, but also
beyond (Malaysia, Israel, Turkey...). The result is a well
researched book, theoretically informed, which sheds refreshing
light on state-building processes, minorities' mobilisation and
inter-group relations." Alain Dieckhoff, Senior Research Fellow,
CNRS, Sciences Po Paris "This volume brings together well
researched case studies which explain when and how nationalism
begins to matter. Nationalism and group belonging are not taken for
granted, but explored as political processes that display
similarities from Southeast Asia to Poland. The contribution of
this volume is to explore the relationship between nation-states
and minorities as dynamic process." Florian Bieber Professor of
Southeast European Studies, University of Graz
