Description

Book Synopsis
The disappearance and formation of states and nations after the end of the Cold War have proved puzzling to both theorists and policymakers. This book argues that this lack of conceptual preparation stems from two tendencies in conventional theorizing.

Trade Review
"Cederman presents an exhaustively researched, precisely orchestrated study using complex adaptive system computer modelling in an attempt to simulate emergent political actors and nationalism. It is an outstanding work, and Lars-Erik Cederman has earned a place on the bookshelf of every serious IR student."--International Relation
