Popular Nationalism and War

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the dual impact of popular nationalism, this book argues that it can both incite conflict and deter leaders from military action, as they navigate the pressures of a nationalistic public. By concentrating on contemporary China, it provides a fresh perspective on how nationalism influences state behavior. The analysis is enriched with historical examples from territorial disputes involving the United States and Argentina, illustrating the complex relationship between nationalism and international relations.
