Nationalisms Old and New [Paperback]

Nationalism is a collection of papers from the British Sociological Association conference, Worlds of the Future. The central themes of the conference were ethnicity and nationalism in the contemporary world. Older discourses on national sovereignty and statehood are evaluated in terms of their validity within a world increasingly defined by transnational integration and global economic competition.Notes on the Contributors Introduction; K.J.Brehony & N.Rassool Political Power and Territorial Form: The 'Nation' State in Theory; C.Collinge Transnationalism, 'postmodern' territorialities and democracy in the European Union; J.Anderson & J.Goodman 'The Time-Space of National Memory'; S.Allan & A.Thompson 'Ethnic Nationalism': Authenticity, Atavism and International Instability; S.Bowler Rethinking Nationalism in the Context of Globalization; R.Schroeder Blood and Sacrifice: Politics versus Culture in the Construction of Nationalism; P.Spencer & H.Wollman Envisioning the Malaysian Nation: Ethnic Nationalism or Corporate Capitalism?; S.Khoo Reconstructing Nationalism on the Celtic Frontier; P.G.Craig & I.A.Reid British Nationalism and the Northern Ireland 'Peace Process'; L.O'Dowd Time, Biography and Ethnic and National Identity Formation; B.Roberts Scotland and Europe: Three Visions and Contemporary Scottish Nationalism; A.Ichijo Nationalism, Culture and the end of Civilization?; N.Parry & J.Parry IndexSU-MING KHOO currently completing a doctoral thesis in the Department of Sociology and Social Policy at the Queen's University of BelfastATSUKO ICHIJA completing a PhD thesis on Scottish Nationalism and European Integration at the London School of Economics and Political ScienceDR.
