Nationalism Modern Impact oleh Corbin Shepherd

"Nationalism's Modern Impact" explores the persistent and evolving force of nationalism, arguing that it remains central to state formation, cultural identities, and global conflicts.
Challenging the notion of nationalism as a fading ideology, the book examines its historical roots and contemporary manifestations, revealing its critical role in shaping our world.
For instance, nationalist sentiment has been key in both unifying nations like Germany and Italy, while simultaneously fueling divisive conflicts across the globe, highlighting its complex and often contradictory nature.
The book traces nationalism from the Enlightenment to the present day, contextualizing its development within modernization, industrialization, and democratic ideals.

Structured in three parts, it begins by defining core concepts, then examines case studies across various regions, and concludes with an analysis of nationalism in the 21st century, addressing its relationship with globalization and populism.
By drawing upon diverse sources and interdisciplinary perspectives, the book offers a nuanced understanding of nationalism's enduring power and its impact on international politics and national identity.
