The tension between nationalism and internationalism has been a
major feature of world politics since the end of the Cold War.
Based on a Nobel symposium, this collection brings together an
international selection of acclaimed authors from a wide variety of
academic disciplines. The book combines focused case-studies and
more theoretically based material to examine critically the
post-Cold War political landscape. Subjects covered include:
* changing interpretation of the nation state and nationalism
* the growing prominence of transnational organisations
* technological changes in information, communication and
transport
* multiculturalism and citizenship
*ethnicity and religious identity in African, Indian, Bosnian and
Polish nationalism
* the growing global significance of Islam.
Maps the post-Cold War political landscape within the contributions by prominent theorists and commentators of the post-Cold War period. The book puts forward a critical reading of the term "post-Cold War" and what it implies - clearly its most immediate interpretation is the disappearance of the Walls and Iron Curtains and the consequent shift away from a global bipolar power structure and we hope a nuclear arms race. However, more broadly, one might take the term to mean the late 20th and early 21st century, allowing us to talk more generally about the changes to the world market economy, the strengthening of regional units, technological change, the growth in international organizations and so on. Thirdly, there is the implication that this is an era in which the world finds itself paying renewed attention to matters that may have been neglected during the Cold War - nationalism being a major one.
