Opis

There can be no doubt about the enduring significance and the immense historical impact of the national question, yet its economic dimension has been little examined. This volume deals with the national question in the light of economic change in the twentieth-century, and contains twenty studies by a team of distinguished authors on nations and nationalities spanning Europe from Ireland to Russia and from Greece to Estonia. The volume will aid our understanding of the modern national question against the changing economic, social and political background.

Recenzje

Review of the hardback: 'With this book Alice Teichova has again excelled not only in pointing to a question of contemporary importance and linking it to its historical roots, but in assembling a group of well-known and distinguished scholars to publish on it.' Scandinavian Economic History Review
