Reviews
Thinking beyond the territorial mentality is a growing theme in democratic theory and empirical research on democracy. However, so far most of our theoretical reasoning about deterritorialisation of democracy focusses on economic globalization and political supranationalisation of democratic regimes. Much less do we know about the impact of diasporas on democratic development. Therefore this book is timely and important. It will contribute to further our understanding of democracy within and beyond the nation state. - Wolfgang Merkel, Professor, Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin fur Sozialforschung WZB, Germany The editors and contributors to this book dig deep in addressing the crucial question of whether territory is necessary both to the expression of national democracy and a diasporic consciousness. The answer, Oleinikova and Bayeh convincingly argue, is to see territory as becoming manifest only when multi-layered points of interaction intersect with the politics of the imaginary and reality. Their conceptual intervention and the Ukrainian case study provide original and arresting insights. - Robin Cohen, Emeritus Professor, University of Oxford, UK
