Myra A. Waterbury

Between State and Nation

Diaspora Politics and Kin-state Nationalism in Hungary

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Based on a qualitative study of Hungary and its changing relationship to the 3 million ethnic Hungarians in neighbouring states, this book argues that it is not the ties of ethnicity, but the political interests of kin-state elites that drives states in Eastern Europe to take action on behalf of ethnic kin in neighboring states.

Rezensionen

"In this nicely written and clearly argued book, Myra Waterbury examines the relationships among national-level politics, foreign policy, and ethnic groups that span international frontiers. She presents a very finely drawn case study of Hungary - arguably the most important instance of active 'diaspora politics' in postcommunist central Europe." - Charles King, Professor of International Affairs and Government, Georgetown University
