Nationalism and Hegemony

This book develops a contemporary theory of nationalism that addresses 21st century political challenges, exploring theoretical and empirical understandings of the concepts of 'the nation' and 'nationalism' and the failure of theoretical accounts to decipher the ways nationalism comes to be embedded in our social and political world.
