This edited collection explores the continuing appeal of
nationalism around the world. The authors’ ground-breaking
research demonstrates the ways in which national priorities and
sensibilities frame an extraordinary array of activities, from
classroom discussions and social media posts to global
policy-making, as well as identifying the value that can come
from feeling part of a national community, especially during
times of economic uncertainty and social change. They also
note how attachments to nation can often generate powerful
emotions, happiness and pride as well as anger and frustration,
which can be used to mobilize substantial numbers of people into
action.
