This book analyzes how the politics of national identity and incompletely realized nation-states influence conflict between states within the international system. Employing quantitative analysis and case studies, the book makes the case for an understanding of regional security politics that transcends traditional realist and liberal scholarship.
DOUGLAS WOODWELL is an Assistant Professor at the University of Indianapolis, USA.

"This book displays an erudite mind addressing problems of nationalism, with a strong grasp of foreign policy process, sophisticated analytical skills, and a fine attention to the details of significant historical cases. It adds much to our understanding of nationalism and international conflict, setting it within a strong tradition of research but very creatively going beyond that tradition." - Bruce Russett, Dean Acheson Professor of International Relations, Yale University
