Description
In Nationhood and Political Theory, Margaret Canovan argues that universalist political theories unconsciously rely upon the collective power generated by national solidarity. By focusing on nationhood as a source of power, Dr Canovan's book obliges political theorists to face the dilemmas involved in reconciling particularist power bases with universal principles.
