Critics Review

The range, quantity, and quality of new material that the author has added to Debating Nationalism makes this revised version especially relevant. The book now explores key debates more deeply still, whether in relation to forms of nationalism or in regard to the populist turn and the dangers of nationalist authoritarianism. * Martin Thomas, Professor of Imperial History, University of Exeter, UK *In a broad and deep sweep, Florian Bieber explores the historical processes that have shaped nations and nationalism from the 18th century to the present. The global approach is both impressive and urgent. A new chapter in this 2nd edition of the book covers the recent trend connecting nationalism, populism, and authoritarianism. * Bo Stråth, Emeritus Professor of Nordic, European and World History, University of Helsinki, Finland *
