Abstract: The issue of nation-building has received a new impetus since 9/11 and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. The book looks at the connection of 'nation-building' to globalisation, democracy and the minority question, and should appeal to upper-level undergraduates and postgraduates across the social sciences.
