Nations And States: An Enquiry Into The Origins Of Nations And The Politics Of Nationalism

Nations And States: An Enquiry Into The Origins Of Nations And The Politics Of Nationalism by Hugh Seton-Watson. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780891582274.

This major book by one of the great political and social historians of our time is a study of the force of nationalism, a force that continues to shake our world. Reaching beyond nationalism as a doctrine, beyond the content, psychological origins, and analysis of that doctrine, the book represents and enquiry into all the important political movements of the modern era. Professor Seton-Watson concentrates on two main ideas: the process by which communities come to regard themselves as nations, and the growth and political impact of nationalist movements.
