Nations And States

More about the book

This major book by one of the great political and social historians of our time is a study of the force of nationalism, a force that continues to shake our world. Reaching beyond nationalism as a doctrine, beyond the content, psychological origins, and analysis of that doctrine, the book represents and enquiry into all the important political movements of the modern era. Professor Seton-Watson concentrates on two main the process by which communities come to regard themselves as nations, and the growth and political impact of nationalist movements.
