The Nation-States Concert or Chaos

In Nation-States, Richard Lee Hough interprets the role of the nation-state, analyzing the factors that impinge on its viability and correcting the present tilt in numerous commentaries positing, or prophesying, its decline. Hough seeks to balance, or refute those, who in various ways, see the degeneration of the modern nation-state.
