Description
Waves of War: Nationalism, State Formation, and Ethnic Exclusion in the Modern World by Andreas Wimmer explores how the nation-state emerged and proliferated globally. By analyzing extensive datasets covering long periods, Wimmer examines the relationship between nationalist movements and modern wars. The nationalist ideal of self-rule gradually spread worldwide, undermining empires and creating new states wherever power configurations favored them. Often, these new states were formed at the end of prolonged wars of secession. In many cases, the elites of these new states were weak institutionally and prioritized their own ethnic communities, leading to exclusionary power structures. Wimmer's work highlights the significance of nation-state formation and ethnic politics in understanding the civil and international wars of the past 200 years.
