International Relations and Sociology. John Breuilly, Walker
Connor, Steven Grosby, Eric Hobsbawm, Anthony D Smith and Pierre

format puts main theories and thinkers to the test, enabling the
reader to interact with the issues directly. This unique volume is
an invaluable resource for students and scholars of nationalism,
ethnicity and global conflict.
