Product Description
Synopsis
Conceptions of nationalism as a historical and contemporary phenomenon remain fragmentary in the late-1990s. This text analyzes the contraditions inherent in the general understanding of nationalism in order to fashion a new intellectual synthesis. In particular George Schopflin questions why states in the West are able to live with the nation as the legitimate space for democratic institutions, wheras in the post-communist world, especially in Eastern Europe, ethnicity is pre-eminent. He argues that the nation is simultaneously ethnic, civic and structured by the state. Schopflin applies his understanding of nationalism to various East and Central European case studies, including the former Yugoslavia and Hungary. He also compares the role of ethnicity in other states, including Britain.

3.0 out of 5 stars interesting reading, 9 May 2001
By A Customer
The author offers a good analysis of the ethnic politics of post-communist Europe. In addition he makes a valuable contribution to the theory of the nation byt underlining its three main components - the ethnic, the civic and the state. Overall, however, it is less of a coherent book and more of a collection of essays. Still, it will be an interesting read for the students of nationalism.
