Klappentext zu „Nationalism and War “
This interdisciplinary book is the first systematic study of the relationship between nationalism and war and, as such, makes an original contribution to theories of nationalism and state formation. It offers a dynamic and interactive framework by which to understand the role of warfare in its changing manifestations in the rise of nation-states, the formation of national communities, definitions of political rights and duties, and the transformation from a world of empires to one of nation states.
Nationalism and War scrutinizes existing approaches that view both nations and nationalism as recent products of martial state-building that began with the military revolutions in Europe, and argues that nationalism and national communities emerged independently in the Middle Ages to shape both war-making and state-building. This book also explores the connection between war commemoration and the creation of nations as sacralized communities that offer meaning and purpose to a world marked by unpredictable change. It shows how nationalist military revolutions led to the downfall of Empires in total war and the mass production of postcolonial nation states. But problems of security have also inspired recurring patterns of re-imperialization. This book refutes claims that we are now in a global and post-national era where traumatic accounts have replaced the heroic narratives that once sustained nation-states. Finally, it appraises approaches that claim there is an inherent connection between nationalism and collective violence, arguing such connections are largely contingent.

Pressezitat
Hutchinson's study captures the complexity of nation building, with its varying, spatially bounded timelines, areas of mixed settlement, cultural traditions, and political priorities, both internal and external... (His) overarching thesis about the strength of national allegiances and the centrality of the relations of bellicose nation-states - first in Europe and then in much of the rest of the world, where "nation state-building continues in many of the 'new wars'" (2) - is a compelling one. Mark Hewitson, University College London, Journal of Modern History
