This volume makes a unique contribution to the literature on
nations and nationalism by examining why nations remain a vibrant
and strong social cohesive despite the threat of globalization.
Regardless of predictions forecasting the demise of the
nation-state in the global era, the nation persists as an important
source of identity, community, and collective memory for most of
the world's population. More than simply a corrective to the many
scholarly but premature epitaphs for the nation-state, this book
explains the continued health of nations in the face of looming
threats. The contributors include leading experts in the field,
such as Anthony D. Smith, William Safran, Edward Tiryakian as well
as younger scholars, whom adopt a variety of approaches ranging
from theoretical to empirical and historical to sociological, in
order to uncover both the reasons that nations continue to remain
vital and the mechanisms that help perpetuate them. The book
includes case studies on Ireland, Thailand, Poland, the Baltic
States, Croatia and Jordan.
Nationalism in a Global Era will be of great interest to
students and researchers of international politics, sociology,
nationalism and ethnicity.
