This, apart from the merit of its individual contributions, is a major reason to welcome the publication of this fine edited collection.\"--Daniel Chernilo, Contemporary Sociology \"The Nation-State in Question is an important addition to a growing literature critical of the view that unrelenting globalization has begun to limit state authority across a series of domains and might ultimately lead to the withering away to the state. The contributors to the book are unanimous in their view that the state has been the central organizational expression of modernity, and will continue be the dominant form of political organization for the foreseeable future.\"--Richard Ned Lebow, International History Review \"The Nation State in Question is an excellent book that I would recommend to all students of contemporary politics. In particular, I would like to see students of globalization read this collection... The essays in this volume are original and interesting.\"--Paul Hamilton, International Journal \"The book brings together a very capable group of scholars from the fields of international relations and comparative politics...[T]he principal contribution of this volume, which deserves a wide readership, lies in the combination of theoretical insight and in-depth analysis of policy areas.\"--Malte Pehl, Journal of Peace Research\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIllustrations vii  Preface ix  Introduction: Nation-States in History 1  John A.
