Book's frontpage

In this book, in many ways unique in the panorama of Italian publishing, the debate over nationalism which for more than a decade has occupied an important place in international academia, is enriched with new contributions and specific analyses.
 
The topic is dealt with here from the perspective of pre- and post-communist political cultures and open or latent conflicts in Eastern Europe. Some essays focus on the topic from a theoretical point of view, offering the reader unprecedented food for thought.
 
These are followed by three case studies on Kosovo, Crimea and Moldova, an “on the ground” examination of the aspects of inclusion-exclusion and order and disorder which have had a profound influence on democratic transition in the Balkans and the Black Sea area.
 
This book deals originally and dynamically with these topics through comparative analysis of the regional context, thus allowing the reader to grasp the transversal dynamics that are so much more significant than they appear from a merely national perspective.
