"The Ethics of Nationalism blends a philosophical discussion of the ethical merits and limits of nationalism with a detailed understanding of nationalist aspirations and a variety of national conflict zones. The author discusses the controversial and contemporary issues of rights of secession, the policies of the state in privileging a particular national group, the kinds of accommodations of minority national, and multicultural identity groups that are justifiable and appropriate. These insights are then applied to two central nationalist aspirations: nation-building and national self-determination projects. The discussion of nation-building projects involves a theory of the appropriate policies and principles that the state should follow in giving preferences to a particular national group. The discussion of national self determination projects analyses the kind of procedural right to secession that should be institutionalized in domestic constitutions on international law, and the possibilities for commodating rival claims to national recognition in the changing international order."--BOOK JACKET.
