Nationalism Theories and Cases Erika Harris 'A major contribution to the growing literature on nations and nationalism. Seeking to look beyond the primordial/modernist debate and to expand the discussion beyond the boundaries of the state, Harris emphasizes that the functions performed by nationalism have changed over time.

The author's broad theoretical and empirical inquiry explores the dynamics of nationalism and its theories, considering also the role of 'the nation' in political processes taking place beyond states. In addition to giving a wide-ranging review of traditional approaches to nationalism, this book is unique in its broad geographic and historical scope and in its appraisal of these approaches in contemporary international politics - including developments such as the increased role of non-state actors, regional integration, trans-national movements and diasporas.

Ranging from the rise of national movements within the old Empires to contemporary ethnic conflicts, these afford a clear understanding of the politics of nationalism and how its theories can be applied, while raising some searching questions about 'new' forms of ethno-national mobilisation. Key Features: ? The only book to cover both historical and contemporary theories of nationalism ? Reviews classical theories of nationalism ? Shows nationalism to be integral to all political changes and demonstrates its relevance to democracy and globalisation ? Uses examples and case studies to demonstrate a
