Explore the complexities of nationalism, identity, and power in George Schöpflin’s compelling analysis, “Nations, Identity, Power.” This insightful book challenges conventional understandings of nationalism, dissecting its ethnic, civic, and state-structured dimensions. Schöpflin investigates why Western nations embrace the nation-state for democratic governance, contrasting it with the prominence of ethnicity in post-communist Eastern Europe. Discover how state capacity and civil society influence ethnic expression and the role of ethnicity in modern state consent. Through case studies of Yugoslavia, Hungary, and Britain, this thought-provoking work offers a nuanced perspective on the nation-state and identity politics, moving beyond traditional paradigms for a deeper understanding of contemporary global dynamics. A must-read for students of politics and sociology from The Bookish Owl.
