Enchanted Glass:  Britain and Its Monarchy

Picador

<p>Globalization has brought with it many difficult and contradictory phenomena: violence, deep national insecurities, religious divisions and individual insecurities. This book takes a critical look at three key areas - globalism, nationalism, and state-terror - to confront common mythologies and identify the root causes of the problems we face. Too many commentators still argue that globalization is predominantly a neo-liberal economic phenomenon; that nation-states are on the way out, and that terror is something that primarily comes from below. Global Matrix exposes the limitations of this argument. The authors explore four main questions: -- What is the cultural-political nature of contemporary globalization? -- How adequate, particularly in the context of nation-states, is a politics of democratic nationalism? -- How are we to understand new and old nations in the context of changes across the late twentieth century and into the present? -- Where does national violence come from and what does it mean for a 'war on terror'? Written by two leading scholars, this is a lucid study of what place the nation-state has in a globalizing world that will appeal to students across the political and social sciences.</p>

Verso Editions

In this twenty-fifth annivery edition of The Break-Up of Britain, Tom Nairn reviews the arguments of his classic study and expands his thesis into the new millenium. He confirms his contention that civic nationalism-but not ethnonationalism-will play an increasing role in the breakdown of the United Kingdom. This, he says, has now assumed an even more rapid pace than when the book was first published. the cumulative strains of Thatcherism and Blairism have had their effect. "The Break-Up of Britain", he writes in the new Introduction "began its life in a still imposing, if narrowing river; by the time the 1981 paperback edition had appeared, the river had begun to feel the approaching rapids- which have accelerated for over twenty years, and attained a crazy place even in the few weeks between beginning and finishing this new edition. The thunder of a waterfall no one conceived of in 1977 is in everyone's ears, as Tony Blair sends off his ships and troops to assist America's assault on the Middle East... In the altered world lying beyond these falls, it is surely unlikely the United Kingdom will survive in anything like its historical form".
