Immigrants and national identity in Europe
by Anna Triandafyllidou (2001)
About this book
"National identity and nationalism are social phemomena of increasing importance in contemporary society and politics. Over the past few decades, European identities in particular have been called into question by peripheral nationalisms, the revival of ethnic allegiances, religious communities and the creation of social movements preaching universal values. National identity may be surviving the upheaval, but it is not surviving unchanged." "This work explores the role of Others, nations, ethnic groups and immigrant communities, in the formation and evolution of national identity." "Scholars and students of Sociology and Social Psychology, particularly those working in the fields of Nationalism and Ethnicity, Ethnic and Race Relations, Immigration Studies, Comparative Sociology, Southern European Politics and International Relations, will find this work pivotal in ascribing importance to the Other in national identity."--Jacket.

Nationalizing the Russian Empire
Eric Lohr
"In this study of the treatment of "enemy" minorities in the Russian Empire during the First World War, Eric Lohr uncovers a dramatic story of mass deportations, purges, expropriations, and popular violence. An imperial campaign initially aimed at restricting foreign citizens rapidly spun out of control. It swept up Russian subjects of German, Jewish, and Muslim backgrounds and drove roughly a million civilians from one part of the empire to another, becoming one of the largest cases of forced migration in history to that time. Because foreigners and diaspora minorities were prominent among entrepreneurial and landowning elites, the campaign against them also became an explosive element in class and national tensions on the eve of the 1917 revolutions." "During the war, the imperial regime dropped its ambivalence about Russian nationalism and embraced unprecedented and radical policies that "nationalized" the economy, the land, and even the population. The core idea of the campaign that the country needed to free itself from the domination of foreigners, internal enemies, and the exploitative world economic system - later became a central feature of the Soviet revolutionary model."--Jacket.

Transatlantic economic relations in the post-cold war era
Barry Eichengreen
Globalization and economic integration are putting the American and European economies in ever closer competition. Meanwhile, the end of the Cold War has removed the traditional glue for transatlantic cooperation. This book asks whether the trend will be toward increased conflict or collaboration. Will policymakers in Europe and the United States be encouraged by their mutual interests to collaborate in the pursuit of common goals? Or will competition fan conflict and recrimination now that the Cold War has ended and their common enemy has disappeared?
