Review

"...the book will be of most value to those with a detailed interest in nationality." Douglas W. Allen, Journal of Economic Literature

"...the whole of the volume is greater than the sum of the individual papers. Indeed, taken as a whole, this collection of essays represents a significant advance in developing a rational choice account of nationalism." James R. Rogers, Public Choice

Book Description

Why is nationalism so widespread? How does the phenomenon arise? This collection of essays by leading social scientists uses rational-choice analysis to try to find the origins of nationalism, whether and why it promotes good or evil, and how to deal with its occasional destructive consequences.
