Description
Ethnos of the Earth provides a comprehensive analysis of ethnicity’s role in shaping international order and political organization. Jaakko Heiskanen investigates how ethnic identities transitioned from cultural categories to fundamental elements of state sovereignty and international relations.
The book traces the historical development of ethnic nationalism and its impact on territorial claims, border disputes, and conflict resolution in the modern world system. Heiskanen examines case studies across different regions and time periods to demonstrate how ethnicity became institutionalized within international law and diplomatic practice.
Through this exploration, the author challenges conventional theories of international relations and offers new perspectives on understanding contemporary ethnic conflicts, nation-building, and the tension between universal international norms and particularistic ethnic interests in maintaining global order.
