This book challenges existing accounts of the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries in which political developments are explained
in terms of the rise of the nation-state. While monarchies are
often portrayed as old-fashioned - as things of the past - we argue
that modern monarchies have been at the centre of
nation-construction in many parts of the world. Today, roughly a
quarter of states define themselves as monarchies as well as
nation-states - they are Royal Nations. This is a global
phenomenon. This volume interrogates the relationship between
royals and 'their' nations with transnational case studies from
Asia, Africa, Europe as well as South America. The seventeen
contributors discuss concepts and structures, visual and
performative representations, and memory cultures of modern
monarchies in relation to rising nationalist movements. This book
thereby analyses the worldwide significance of the Royal Nation.
