'By offering a cogent and up-to-date review of the nationalism literature, Varieties of Nationalism fills a gaping hole. The book offers a sophisticated discussion of conceptualization that is used as a launchpad for a well-structured survey of scholarship answering three central research questions, as suggested by the book's subtitle. This is an absolute must in every nationalism scholar's library!' Lars-Erik Cederman, ETH Zürich
