Product Description
Product Description
Theorizing Nationalism directly addresses the normative dimensions of nationalism. Some of the themes it discusses are the following whether there is a "right" to collective self-determination, the relationship between nationalism and modernity, whether nationalism and liberalism can be reconciled, whether there is a theoretically legitimate distinction between so-called civic and ethnic versions of nationalism, and the "existential" attractiveness of nationalism.

Solid survey of contemporary thinking on nationalism
2 May 2000
Format:Paperback
Ronald Beiner's edited book is able to neaty capture the main strands of thinking current thinking concerning nationalism and as such makes an ideal reader for both students and academics.
The book aims to address five issues; do nations have a right to self-determination; what is the relationship between nationalism and modernity; can nationalism and liberalism be reconciled; the distinction between 'civic' and 'ethnic' forms of nationalism and finally is nationalism attractive, that is, as a choice of how to live one's life?
The essays in the book draw together a large collection of work from a hitherto disparate body of authors, ranging from the political philosophy of john dunn and michael walzer to the more descriptive work of former journalist michael ignatieff.
I found this book very useful, although I could have done with more information on the relationship between nationalism and other related concepts such as xenophobia and national pride.
