Such topics as primordialism, institutional plurality in multi-ethnic states, historical problems of nationalism, and the importance of local-level understanding in dealing with such problems, are examined with clarity and vision. Together the essays provide a valuable insight into an intricate debate which is of crucial relevance to the understanding of contemporary politics not only in Central Europe but in the world at large UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9789633865293 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9789633865293 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9789633865293/original ER -
