Globalization and National Identities Crisis or Opportunity?

Drawing on original research from social scientists working on twelve countries, this book explores the key issues faced by nations and citizens as they struggle to rediscover, reaffirm or reconstruct their sense of national identities in the face of globalizing forces. Some nations and peoples experience the fragmentation of once certain identities as threatening and likely to generate political and social breakdown. Others encounter globalization as a challenge which brings uncertainties but also opportunities for adaptation, the evolution of hybrid identities or new forms of protest.Kennedy, Paul is the author of 'Globalization and National Identities Crisis or Opportunity?' with ISBN 9780333929636 and ISBN 0333929632.
