For the better part of three and one half centuries, the
nation-state has been valued as the logical instrument of
governance and citizen protection. The years following the end of
the Cold War have convinced certain academics that the process
known as globalization is undermining the supposed "unbridled"
power of the nation-state. They have argued that new, re-imagined,
or reconfigured identities have emerged and been empowered as a
result of globalization and therefore demonstrated the hypothesis
that the nation-state is losing its sovereignty. This book rethinks
and contests this hypothesis by demonstrating that the processes of
globalization are not solely responsible for the emergence or
re-emergence of the many national/religious identities in the world
today. Another and equally as important component is the
transformation of the international system from one that is
state-driven to one that is supra and sub-state driven. The
European Union and the re-conceptualized notion of a 'Europe of
regions' has allowed certain regional minorities the ability to
reclaim their unique national identities within the backdrop of a
globalized society.
