Overview

"The nation-state is seen by many today as the key unit of analysis for international organization and cooperation in the modern age, but not all groups that want to make up and control their own nation-state are able to do so: historical factors, domestic politics, and international relations often prevent them from obtaining sovereign power. Groups that have tried to create a nation-state and failed to do so can be referred to as being ""frustrated."" Frustrated Nationalism offers case studies by an international collection of scholars who describe the efforts of many of those groups to achieve sovereign status, or at least to obtain greater control over the policies that affect them, their strategies, and their outcomes."

Reviews

"""The theme of nations and nationalism is a crucial one in the comparative politics subfield of political science, as well as the fields of world history and historical sociology. This volume brings together specialists who explore a wide range of cases of national identity formation and nationalism, offering rich empirical material and interpretation that provides useful groundwork for comparative analysis. Unlike other work that is more regionally focused or limited to specific historical periods, the cases included here cover a wide historical timespan and geography. The cases are diverse, interesting, historically contextualized, and brought up to the present time with the inclusion of ongoing national conflicts such as the Houthi rebellion in Yemen."" — Richard Stahler-Sholk, coeditor of Rethinking Latin American Movements: Radical Action from Below"
