The tension between nationalism and internationalism has been a major feature of world politics since the end of the Cold War. Based on a Nobel symposium, this collection brings together an international selection of acclaimed authors from a wide variety of academic disciplines. The book combines focused case-studies and more theoretically based material to examine critically the post-Cold War political landscape. Subjects covered include: * changing interpretation of the nation state and nationalism * the growing prominence of transnational organisations * technological changes in information, communication and transport * multiculturalism and citizenship *ethnicity and religious identity in African, Indian, Bosnian and Polish nationalism * the growing global significance of Islam.
