Ethno-national conflict is one of the central issues of modern
politics. Despite the emergence of approaches to managing it, from
nation-building to territorial autonomy, in recent years, the
application of these approaches has been uneven. Old conflicts
persist and new ones continually emerge. The authors of this book
contend that what is needed to drive forward the theory and
practice of ethno-national conflict management is a more nuanced
understanding of ethnicity and nationalism. The book addresses this
issue by linking theories of ethnicity and nationalism to theories
of conflict management. Its contributors share a common goal of
demonstrating that a nuanced understanding of ethnicity and
nationalism can beneficially inform conflict management in theory
and practice. To do so, they analyse both hot and cold conflict
zones, as well as cases that have been important in the development
of the most widely-used conflict management models. The book is
aimed at those interested in the theory and practice of
ethno-national conflict management as well as the study of
ethnicity and nationalism. It is well-suited for undergraduate and
advanced research students, experts and policy-makers. This book
was originally published as a special issue of Commonwealth and
Comparative Politics.

A careful analysis of the social media campaigns of Donald Trump,
Marine Le Pen, and the Brexit campaigners, which shows how today's
new nationalists are cultivating support from white majorities by
tapping into their history and culture. Across the West, there has
been a resurgence of ethnic nationalism, populism, and
anti-immigrant sentiment - a phenomenon that many commentators have
called the "new nationalism." In The New Nationalism in America and
Beyond, Robert Schertzer and Eric Taylor Woods seek to understand
why the bastions of liberalism are proving to be fertile ground for
a decidedly illiberal ideology. To do so, they examine the social
media campaigns of three of the most successful exemplars of the
new nationalism: Donald Trump in the US, Marine Le Pen in France,
and Brexit in the UK. Schertzer and Woods show how today's new
nationalists are cultivating support from white majorities by
drawing from long-standing myths and symbols to construct an image
of the nation as an ethnic community. Their cutting-edge and
multidisciplinary approach combines elements of political science,
sociology, history, and communication and media studies, to show
how leaders today are updating the historical foundations of ethnic
nationalism for the digital age.
