Rezensionen

"Hadzidedic travels much further with the ambitious goal of opening up a new line of research. The result is a highly knowledgeable book which sheds light on the one of the founding relationships of the modern age. It is perhaps among the most innovative books on the theory of nationalism that has been published over the last 20 or 30 years."

Daniele Conversi, writing in Ethnic and Racial Studies 2022

"Nationalism is not only a political phenomenon. It is a set of social practices that also shape and are shaped by economic forces. Hence in this very perceptive and enlightening book "Nations and Capital: The Missing Link in Global Expansion," Zlatko Hadzidedic explores the relationship between nationalism and capitalism. Most scholars agree that there are strong links between these two historical processes but very few have explored their relationship in a greater detail. Hadzidedic's book aims to fill this explanatory gap by identifying different historical and social mechanisms that have made the emergence and expansion of nationalism in the context of capitalism possible."

Sinisa Malesevic, writing in Nationalities Papers 2023

"In Nations and Capital. The Missing Link in Global Expansion, Zlatko Hadzidedic attempts to provide a definitive account of the rise of nationalism as a necessary mechanism to ensure capitalism's global expansion from the early 'core' (mainly the Netherlands and England or Britain, later joined by the United States) to the rest of the world. The argument is clear and coherent: capitalism in the form of relentless pursuit of wealth accumulation needed nationalism to survive, grow and expand and that is the origin of nationalism. The crucial importance of nationalism for capitalism in its perpetual growth and expansion is captured succinctly in the title of the second part, entitled 'No capitalism without nationalism'. From the perspective of theories of nationalism, Hadzidedic belongs to the same camp as Ernest Gellner, since nationalism is essentially seen as an epiphenomenon of capitalism's global expansion. What moves the world, and therefore history, at the end of the day is capitalism, and nationalism facilitates its operation."
