This volume brings together 15 articles divided into four
sections on the role of nationalism in transitions to democracy,
the application of theory to country case studies, and the role
played by history and myths in the forging of national identities
and nationalisms. The book develops new theories and frameworks
through engaging with leading scholars of nationalism: Hans Kohn's
propositions are discussed in relation to the applicability of the
term 'civic' (with no ethno-cultural connotations) to liberal
democracies, Rogers Brubaker over the usefulness of dividing
European states into 'civic' and 'nationalizing' states when the
former have historically been 'nationalizers', Will Kymlicka on the
applicability of multiculturalism to post-communist states, and
Paul Robert Magocsi on the lack of data to support claims of
revivals by national minorities in Ukraine. The book also engages
with 'transitology' over the usefulness of comparative studies of
transitions in regions that underwent only political reforms, and
those that had 'quadruple transitions', implying simultaneous
democratic and market reforms, as well as state and nation
building. A comparative study of Serbian and Russian diasporas
focuses on why ethnic Serbs and Russians living outside Serbia and
Russia reacted differently to the disintegration of Yugoslavia and
the USSR. The book dissects the writing of Russian and Soviet
history that continues to utilize imperial frameworks of history,
analyzes the re-writing of Ukrainian history within post-colonial
theories, and discusses the forging of Ukraine's identity within
theories of 'Others' as central to the shaping of identities. The
collection of articles proposes a new framework for the study of
Ukrainian nationalism as a broader research phenomenon by placing
nationalism in Ukraine within a theoretical and comparative
perspective.
