Nationalism is once again rising and spreading. Nationlist
movements are active throughout the world, demanding political
recognition of their nations' identity. Yet the current revival of
nationalism has taken place alongside claims that nation-states are
becoming obsolete in an increasingly globalized world. In addition,
now perhaps more than ever, people are conscious of humanity as a
whole and are ready to take seriously the international dimensions
of morality.In this collection of timely essays, distinguished
moral and political philosophers examine issues raised by the
competing claims of nationhood and internationalism from a variety
of perspectives, and defend a variety of answers. Questions
discussed include: Is humanity really divided into nations or are
nations invented by nationalists? Does a nation have the right to
be self-determining? If so, must each nation form a separate and
sovereign state? Do our obligations stop at national boundaries? Do
we not have obligations to human beings as such? Why then should we
be less concerned about "foreigners" than about our compatriots?
Can we be concerned for social justice within societies yet not
across the world as a whole? If we embrace ideas of human rights
and global obligations, how do we establish what those rights and
obligations actually are? Is it proper, plausible, or practical to
aspire to such universal moral principles in a world characterized
by national diversity and cultural difference?
