This 2002 book draws out the ideological connections of nationalism by analysing its relation to a series of political concepts and practices. Then it looks at the drift to particularity in political debates by assessing nationalism as a key example of particularity. Accessible to students in philosophy, politics and law.

An understanding of "the State" is crucial for the grasp of 19th- and 20th-century political thought and practice. This work offers an overview of the key theoretical bases of notions of the State. Absolutist, constitutional, ethical, class and pluralist theories are all critically analyzed.
