Nationalism and Internationalism in the Post-cold War Era

The tension between nationalism and internationalism has been a major feature of world politics since the end of the Cold War. Based on a Nobel symposium, this collection brings together an international selection of acclaimed authors from a wide variety of academic disciplines. The book combines focused case-studies and more theoretically based material to examine critically the post-Cold War political landscape. Subjects covered include: changing interpretation of the nation state and nationalism the growing prominence of transnational organisations technological changes in information, communication and transport multiculturalism and citizenship ethnicity and religious identity in African, Indian, Bosnian and Polish nationalism the growing global significance of Islam. This outstanding volume is an invaluable resource for students of Politics and International Relations, as well as all those interested in the interplay between nationalism and internationalism in the modern world.
