Routledge Morality and Nationalism: 19 Political Theory Book

Explore the moral foundations of nationalism through this specialized academic study from Routledge. This book offers a unique perspective by examining nearly 200 years of nationalist history in Ireland and Quebec. Rather than relying on traditional dichotomies like civic versus ethnic or political versus cultural models, the author develops a new theory centered on the role of representation. By drawing on primary nationalist writings, this work provides a way to examine nationalism as an object of moral scrutiny. It moves beyond common bifurcations that often make the subject difficult to analyze. This text is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in political theory and the historical development of national identity through the lens of representation and moral philosophy.
