Margaret Moore

The Ethics of Nationalism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Blending a philosophical discussion of the ethical merits and limits of nationalism, a detailed understanding of nationalist aspirations, and a variety of national conflict zones, this outstanding book discusses the controversial and contemporary issues of rights of secession. It also addresses the policies of the state in privileging a particular national group, the kinds of accommodations of minority nationals, and multi-cultural identity groups that are justifiable and appropriate. These insights are then applied to two central nationalist aspirations: nation-building and national self-determination projects.
