Daniel Chernilo's extremely innovative and challenging book is a major contribution to the literature. It will become a major reference point for further research in this area . - William Outhwaite, Professor of Sociology at the University of Sussex A Social Theory of the Nation State is a work of scholarly significance and lasting importance for contemporary social theory . - Bryan S. Turner, editor of The Cambridge Dictionary of Sociology Daniel Chernilo not only surveys recent theories of state and nation, he brings new insight into this complex field. Through a careful consideration of several leading theorists, he shows both the ways in which methodological nationalism has shaped and limited effective understanding of changes in the state and potential paths forward. Moreover, he situates the question of the state at the center of understanding modernity, integrating specifically political analysis into broader patterns of global change . - Craig Calhoun, Professor of Sociology at New York University and President Social Science Research Council
