Нації та націоналізм у глобальну епоху

by Anthony D. Smith, Ентоні Сміт, Микола Климчук (Translator)

In a world of transnational economics and mass communications, ethnic conflict and nationalism have recently re-emerged as major political forces. Is this due to the advance of modernity? Will a global culture supersede nationalism? In fact, the revolution of modernity has revitalized ethnic memories and communities, as people look for stability and meaning in an age of unprecedented change and return to their ethnic heritages.Ethnic nationalism challenges, but also reinforces the national state. By comparison, supra-national ideals seem vague and pale, and the dream of a cosmopolitan global culture is utopian. For all its shortcomings, Anthony Smith argues, the nation and its nationalism is likely to remain the only realistic and widespread popular ideal of community.

About the author

Anthony D. Smith was Professor Emeritus of Nationalism and Ethnicity at the London School of Economics, and is considered one of the founders of the interdisciplinary field of nationalism studies. His best-known contributions to the field are the distinction between 'civic' and 'ethnic' types of nations and nationalism, and the idea that all nations have dominant 'ethnic cores'. While Smith agreed with other authors that nationalism is a modern phenomenon, he insisted that nations have pre-modern origins.

Якщо радити якусь одну з трьох Ентоні Сміта, то цю. Трохи апологетики націй і націоналізму, трохи критики європроєкту та пан націоналізму (що цікаво, враження що він переглядає свої більш ранні та більш оптимістичні погляди на це).

Словом, непогано.

чудове чтиво про націоналізм як такий і його зв'язок із глобальною епохою. І коротко викладені загальні терміни і тези, і написано зрозуміло мовою. Тож, читати можна і тим, хто не надто й шарить у темі, і тим, кого вона давно цікавить.
