Miroslav Hroch

One of the world’s leading theorists of nationalism offers a new synthesis In the history of modern political thought, no topics have attracted as much attention as nationalism, nation-formation, and patriotism. A mass of literature has grown around these vexed issues, muddying the waters, and a level-headed clarification is long overdue. Rather than adding another theory of nationalism to this maelstrom of ideas, Miroslav Hroch has created a remarkable synthesis, integrating apparently competing frameworks into a coherent system that tracks the historical genesis of European nations through the sundry paths of the nation-forming processes of the nineteenth century. Combining a comparative perspective on nation-formation with invaluable theoretical insights, European Nations is essential for anyone who wants to understand the historical roots of Europe’s current political crisis.

Explaining Their Formation

European Nations

Anna Skýbová

The Inquisition

Ecclesia Militans

This classic work on nationalism, originally published thirty years ago and now reissued with a new preface by the author, provides excellent historical and political background to the profusion of recent nationalist movements in Eastern Europe. Amid all the speculation and theorizing about nationalist currents, Hroch's empirically based study helps counter the impulse toward easy and spectacular generalizations and provides sound footing for an informed approach to the topic.

Problemsko segajo prispevki tudi po reartikulaciji omenjenih tematskih polj, ki bistveno sooblikujejo našo vizijo prihodnosti. Mednarodni simpozij je bil zamišljen kot srečanje in dopolnjevanje spoznanj ter izkušenj številnih avtorjev različnih humanističnih in družboslovnih ved.
