Recent events around the globe have cast doubt on the assumption
that, as a result of increasing cross-border migrations and global
interdependencies, nation-states are becoming more inclusive,
ethnic forms of identification more and more a thing of the past,
and processes of supranational integration progressively more
acceptable. Xenophobic forms of nationalism have once again been on
the rise, as became strikingly visible through the results of the
Brexit referendum, the election of Donald Trump, and the inclusion
of the Lega Nord in the Italian government. It is timely,
therefore, to inquire how multiethnic forms of nationalism can be
re-promoted and for this purpose to re-investigate the concept of
civic nationalism. This book assembles case studies that analyse
the historical practices of civic or quasi-civic nationalisms from
around the world. By allowing for global comparisons, the
collection of articles seeks to shed new light on pressing
questions faced by nation-states around the world today: Are truly
civic nationalisms even possible? Which strategies have multiethnic
nation-states pursued in the past to foster national sentiment? How
can nation-states generate social solidarity without resorting to
primordialism? Can the historical example of civic or quasi-civic
nation-states offer useful lessons to contemporary nation-states
for successfully integrating immigrants?
