Nationalism and Democracy in the Welfare State

The growth of global interdependencies and cross-border mobility of capital and people have created new preconditions for nationalism. This book provides an outstanding contribution to the study of the contested roles of nationalism and democracy in the formation and transformation of welfare states. -- Stein Kuhnle, University of Bergen, Norway, and Hertie School, The University of Governance, Berlin, Germany There are many discussions of the relative importance in todays political conflicts of culture and class, and of the ambiguous relationships among market liberalism, nationalism and the welfare state. But there are very few that confront these issues as thoroughly, boldly and forensically as the authors of this excellent and well integrated collection. -- Colin Crouch, University of Warwick, UK and Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Germany
