Nation, State and Empire
With the end of the Cold War and the triumph of globalisation, many believed that nationalism was now a thing of the past; instead, the opposite is true. The essays in this anthology are based on the Engelsberg Seminar in 2017, where different kinds of identity formation were considered. How does a nation emerge? How is unity achieved in an empire with a diverse population? These wide-ranging essays consider the issue from a number of vantage points, touching upon figures as diverse as Garibaldi, Trump, Hitler, Napoleon, and more.
Nation, State and Empire includes contributions from leading thinkers and academics:
- Philip Bobbitt
- Gillian Clark
- Christopher Coker
- Carlos Escudé
- Richard J. Evans
- Jonathan Fenby
- Robin Lane Fox
- Jessica Frazier
- David Goodhart
- Freddy Gray
- Steven Grosby
- Tom Holland
- Lawrence James
