Nationalism and Beyond

The book provides portraits of two kinds of nationalists: the tougher type, more common in everyday life, and the ultramoderate "liberal" or "thoughtful nationalist" encountered in academia. The author introduces a debate with the latter, who defends the view that states should be organized around national culture and that individuals have basic obligations to their nation. Miscevic laborates on the following questions: Why is radicalism typical of nationalism? How successful is the nation-state? Does nationalism support liberal-democratic values?
