In nearly two decades since Samuel P. Huntington proposed his
influential and troubling 'clash of civilizations' thesis,
nationalism has only continued to puzzle and frustrate
commentators, policy analysts and political theorists. No consensus
exists concerning its identity, genesis or future. Are we reverting
to the petty nationalisms of the nineteenth century or evolving
into a globalized, supranational world? Has the nation-state
outlived its usefulness and exhausted its progressive and
emancipatory role? Opening with powerful statements by Lord Acton
and Otto Bauer - the classic liberal and socialist positions,
respectively - Mapping the Nation presents a wealth of thought on
this issue: the debate between Ernest Gellner and Miroslav Hroch;
Gopal Balakrishnan's critique of Benedict Anderson's seminal
Imagined Communities; Partha Chatterjee on the limitations of the
Enlightenment approach to nationhood; and contributions from
Michael Mann, Eric Hobsbawm, Tom Nairn, and Jurgen Habermas.
