*Call for Book Proposals*

for new Peter Lang Book Series

*Nationalisms across the Globe*

Although in the 1980s the widely shared belief was that nationalism had become a spent force, the fragmentation of the studiously non-national Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia in the 1990s into a multitude of successor nation-states reaffirmed its continuing significance. Today all extant polities (with the exception of the Vatican) are construed as nation-states, and hence nationalism is the sole universally accepted criterion of statehood legitimization. Similarly, human groups wishing to be recognized as fully fledged participants in international relations must define themselves as nations. This concept of world politics underscores the need for open-ended, broad-ranging, novel, and interdisciplinary
research into nationalism and ethnicity. It promotes better understanding of the phenomena relating to social, political, and economic life, both past and present.

This peer-review series publishes monographs, conference proceedings, and collections of articles on this topic. It attracts well-researched, often iterdisciplinary, studies which open new approaches to nationalism and ethnicity or focus on interesting case studies. The language of the book series is English, with authors/editors of proposed volumes responsible for meeting the Peter Lang standards of copy-editing. All are requested to contribute to the cost of publication, with guidelines available on request.

Proposals and queries should be forwarded to:

Series Editors:

* Dr Tomasz Kamusella (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, and University of Opole, Opole, Poland), tomek672 AT gmail.com

* Dr Krzysztof Jasku³owski (University of Wroc³aw, Wroc³aw, Poland), krzysztofja AT interia.pl

Commissioning Editor:

* Joe Armstrong joearmstrong AT eircom.net
