Opis

National Catholicism, which identifies the nation with the Catholic faith, submits Catholic universalism to the logic of an introverted nationalism that opposes sharing sovereignty with other nations both within the state and in the framework of supranational institutions like the European Union. This book analyzes and describes the attempts to transform introverted conceptions of the nation into extroverted nationalism during the democratic transition and in the two decades thereafter.

Recenzje

"...the book taps into an under discussed, albeit relevant political phenomenon, and offers ground for a potentially fruitful avenue of research. The configuration of state nationalisms has many policy implications, and heavily influences the descisions that governments take in both foreign and internal policy areas. Therefore, understanding the confitions under which these nationalisms will take a more open or closed approach to their external relations seems a particularly pertinent research topic. Madalen Meyer-Resende's book is certainly a good point of depature for further explorations of the issue"
