Morality of Nationalism

The essays in this volume, all published here for the first time, are intended to illuminate the moral and evaluative dimensions of nationalism. With discussions of issues such as the ideal of national self-determination, the permissibility of secession, the legitimacy of international intervention, and tolerance between nations, 'The Morality of Nationalism' contains both pro- and anti-nationalist arguments and concentrates throughout on matters of deep ethical and political significance.
