A fresh examination of the evolving relationship between nationalism and globalization. This new study tackles the key questions this complex relationship is generating: Are we entering a new phase in the relationship between internationality and nationalism, or is nationalism being rendered irredeemably contradictory, and anachronistic? Does nationalism re-enter by the back door, renewed and invigorated, whether as a partner of globalism or as its bA te noir? What are the contemporary bases for a politics of solidarity in a globalizing world? In the present century, these tensions have become even more pronounced with many writers from both the Left and the Right proclaiming that globalization is effecting a tidal wave of change, leaving the nation-state behind in its wake. Despite the immensity of the change, it is becoming clearer that globalization is not drowning everything. It is certainly possible that processes of globalization may eventually undermine modern forms of nation-state sovereignty, but there is no inevitability about such an outcome, neither in logic nor in the day-to-day details of how power operates around the world.
