Popis: | Fans of George Schdpflin will not be surprised that he has published this excellent book on nations and nationalism at this point in Europe's history. He analyses the contradictions inherent in the general understanding of nationalism in order to produce a new intellectual synthesis. In particular he questions why states in the West are able to live with the nation as the legitimate space for democratic institutions, whereas in the post-communist world, especially in central and eastern Europe, ethnicity plays a much more important role. |
