Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict - Philosophical Perspectives

This collection of essays approaches the problems and strengths of nationalism from a number of philosophical perspectives. The contributors craft a definition of nation/nationalism that emphasizes the cultural and sociopolitical ties uniting members of a country rather than merely their place of origin.

Summary

Events in the Middle East, Indonesia and the Balkans during the 1990s illustrate the many negative aspects of nationalism. This collection of essays investigates both the strengths and weaknesses of nationalism from a variety of cultural perspectives.
