The Nation and Nationalism in Europe: An Introduction

Edinburgh,EdinburghUniversityPress 2009

An overview of the contending approaches to the nation and nationalism in a European context, this book explores a wide variety of theoretical perspectives, including the controversial issue of theoretical dichotomy (civic versus ethnic nationalism) and attempts to overcome it. It also introduces three types of nationalism: ideology, social movement, and attitude, allowing for a systematic treatment of sub-state and central state nationalism.

In conclusion, the text looks at European nationalism in practice, offering new empirical findings from both in-depth single country cases and cross-country comparisons.
