Rethinking the End of Empire: Nationalism, State Formation, and Great Power Poli

Description: Rethinking the End of Empire by Lynn M. Tesser Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Why did a nation-state order emerge when nationalist activism was typically an elitist pursuit in the age of empire? Ordinary inhabitants and even most indigenous elites tended to possess religious, ethnic, or status-based identities rather than national identities. Why then did the desires of a typically small number result in wave after wave of new states? The answer has customarily centered on nationalists acting against weakening empires during a time of proliferating beliefs that peoples should control their destiny. Rethinking the End of Empire offers a wholly unique approach by arguing that nationalism often existed more in the perceptions of external observers than of local activists and insurgents, underscoring the need to treat nationalism relationally.Drawing on research largely untapped by international relations scholars, Lynn M. Tesser analyzes the decades prior to clusters of state birth to show that the transformation of pre-independence mobilization into moves toward territorial separation lay more with the politics of empires than republican ideas. Featuring extensive insights from sociology, history, and area studies, this book adds nuance to scholarship that assumes most, if not all, pre-independence unrest was nationalist and separatist, and sheds light on why varied demands for change eventually coalesced around independence in some cases, but not others.
