This introduction to the ideological foundations of nationalism traces a range of theories back to their historical roots, situating them within the context of contemporary world politics. This allows students to reconsider these theories in light of current political developments, such as the increased role of non-state actors, politics beyond the state, regional integration, and transnational movements and diasporas. The inclusion of numerous case studies demonstrates the application of theories in practice.
