Civic Nationalisms in Global Perspective
«
Given the current state of a world caught between the Scylla of globalization and the Charybdis of ethno-national chauvinism, these essays' nuanced and thoughtful reengagement with the concept of civic nationalism could not be more timely. The geographical diversity of cases studied and the inclusion of differing perspectives on the prospects for civic nationalism serve as icing on the cake. I look forward to adding this title to my own graduate-course curricula!

Recent events around the globe have cast doubt on the assumption that, as a result of increasing cross-border migrations and global interdependencies, nation-states are becoming more inclusive, ethnic forms of identification more and more a thing of the past, and processes of supranational integration progressively more acceptable. Les mer
It is timely, therefore, to inquire how multiethnic forms of nationalism can be re-promoted and for this purpose to re-investigate the concept of civic nationalism. This book assembles case studies that analyse the historical practices of civic or quasi-civic nationalisms from around the world. By allowing for global comparisons, the collection of articles seeks to shed new light on pressing questions faced by nation-states around the world today: Are truly civic nationalisms even possible? Which strategies have multiethnic nation-states pursued in the past to foster national sentiment? How can nation-states generate social solidarity without resorting to primordialism? Can the historical example of civic or quasi-civic nation-states offer useful lessons to contemporary nation-states for successfully integrating immigrants?
